LitPick Review
Opinion:
I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked that the story took place in Fairytale Land and involved a lot of mystical elements like fairy godmothers and gnomes. Additionally, I think the author did a great job of subtly incorporating common fairy tales into the book, such as Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk. I also liked how the author developed Sylvia's character as the story went on by explaining the reasons for her bad behavior earlier in the book. The story moved at a fast pace, keeping the story engaging for younger audiences. Within the book, there are black-and-white drawings/illustrations that depict the various scenes that are unfolding. Overall, I think this chapter book is excellent for younger readers. It contains a good mix of suspense and magic!
