Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg

By: Gail Carson Levine

Narrated by: Hannah Gordon

Length: 3 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher's Summary

Prilla, the newest fairy to arrive in Neverland, is so odd that Neverland 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 Neverland, 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 listeners, wherever they may be, play a crucial role in deciding Neverland's fate.

Far too violent

FYI for parents - this book is NOT part of the "Disney Fairies" chapter-book series about Pixie Hollow -- which this book resembles, and which is appropriate for a wide range of ages. This story starts out fine for younger listeners but turns quite violent and overly dramatic; my daughter has had nightmares as a result (needless to say we did not make it to the end). I regret downloading this; my bad for not recognizing the discrepancy.

Beautiful Refreshing

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