Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg

De: Gail Carson Levine

Narrado por: Hannah Gordon

Prilla, the newest fairy to arrive in Never Land, is so odd that Never Land itself isn’t certain whether to let her into Fairy Haven. Prilla shakes hands when she meets other fairies, and she says “Pleased to meet you,” instead of “Fly with you.” What’s more, she calls Tinker Bell Miss Bell. Altogether, she acts more like a Clumsy than a self-respecting Never fairy should. To make matters worse, Prilla doesn’t know what her talent is–or if she has a talent at all. Mother Dove, the wisest creature in Never Land, thinks Prilla has a talent, but even she isn’t certain.
A diabolical hurricane, a selfish fairy, Captain Hook, snobby mermaids, a fierce golden hawk, and the evil dragon Kyto combine in a tantalizing elixir that tests Mother Dove’s wisdom, Tink’s courage, and Prilla’s mettle. Even Clumsy children on the mainland–even readers, wherever they may be–play a crucial role in deciding Never Land’s fate.©2005 Disney Enterprises, Inc.; (P)2005 Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group.

Wonderful to reread as an adult

The fairy world and its inhabitants, as told by Gail Carson Levine, are just as charming, whimsical, and emotionally impactful now as they were when I devoured these stories as a kid. It’s amazing what she can write in such a short book, without it feeling overwhelming as introductions to fantasy worlds so often are, and I find myself still desperate to see more of her Fairy Haven after all these years.

It’s worth noting that the Pixie Hollow films are just as lovely, but totally different. Fairy Dust’s story is heartbreaking, violent, and cruel, and the ending will have you clapping along with the questers for a touching finish.

Beautiful Refreshing

Swept away by the pictures. What are our talents? It is ok to search wonder andletit be.

Even Better Than I Remember

If you can get the physical copy as well the illustrations are breathtaking! Wonderful story!

a wonderful performance !

My sisters loved it and I enjoyed hearing a childhood favorite of mine come to life. It's such a sweet story, but serious enough to interest a wide age range. very few people die or bleed in Disney books and this one has both. the kids want me to buy the next 2 books.

The story!!

My kids and I love this book and everything written by Gail!! We loved the narrator as well! Her voice was perfect! Please please let her narrate the other two books in the series!
