Pixie Tricks: Sprite's Secret Review

Eight-year-old Violet didn't expect to find a portal to the fairy world in her backyard. And she certainly didn't think she would have to defend the human world from trickster pixies! With the help of her new fairy friend Sprite, Violet sets out to catch Pix, a lively fairy who just wants everybody to have fun-all the time. Pix's playfulness starts to cause serious trouble, so it's up to Violet and Sprite to put an end to his fun and send him back to the fairy world!

This is a refresh of the popular Pixie Tricks series, with updated text and brand-new art for today's young readers!

The Pixie Trick series is part of Scholastic's early chapter book line, Branches, aimed at new independent readers. This is a great line for readers moving from picture books to chapter books.

Review - When we received the book in the mail, I gave it to my six-year-old and told him that it was by the same author as The Dragon Masters series. He loves The Dragon Master series so he was intrigued and wanted to see what this new book was about. He read it within a few hours and at least once a day for the next few days after that. I asked him if he liked it and he said he did. He then asked if I could ask Tracey to send more books to review and if we could get more books in the series. I explained to him that we got the book early to review and the next few books won't come out for a little while. He then immediately asked if we could get the next Dragon Masters book. He loves the books by Tracey West. I also read this book to my four-year-old and she loved it. Needless to say, the Pixie Tricks series is a hit in our household.

Pixie Tricks is a good beginner series for kids moving from picture books to chapters books. It's also a good beginner series for the fantasy genre. The foe is more mischievous and silly rather than dark and scary. The plot is appropriate for the six to eight age group. The kids featured in the book are nice and not mean. They use appropriate language with each other. The plot is comprehensible for children. I liked that this book series appeals to both boys and girls. It can easily be passed down from child to child in a family. It's also a good book to own. My son has reread it several times over. Sprite's Secret releases December 2020. The book is available to pre-order now and would be a fun gift to put in a Christmas stocking! To pre-order Pixie Tricks: Sprite's Secret, click here.

Please note that we received a free copy to review, however, this is my honest opinion. There are affiliate links in this blog post that help with the maintenance of this blog.
