Dulcie is a cooking talent fairy, which means all she wants to do is cook. That is all she ever does in the Pixie Hollow kitchen, where hungry fairies await her delicious meals. Every single fairy in Pixie hollow depends on Dulcie and her helpers to make them their meals every day. However, one day, everything goes terribly wrong in the kitchen. Dulcie can’t even make her signature poppy puffs-which EVERY fairy loves. They turned out flat. In the breads, she used salt instead of flower. She woke up late. It was all wrong. Then, the Queen fairy says that Dulcie should take a break for a day or two, leaving snotty Ginger to be in charge of the kitchen. While Dulcie is searching in the library, she notices an old recipe; it obviously hadn’t been read for many years. It was magical. Everytime Dulcie would do a task, a new ingredient would appear on the paper. When she got all of the ingredients she sneaked into Pixie Hollow kitchen and tried it out; so she can prove SHE belongs in the kitchen.

Will she be able to prove she’s a great cook? Is the magical cake good?

This story is about a dog named Freddie. He had a wonderful boy that took good care of him. One day when his boy was gone to school, his dad took Freddie for a ride in the car. The dad opened the door and forced Freddie to get out. Freddie got out and then the dad closed the door and left without Freddie. He did not know what to do. Then he figured out that he got dumped. He now had to live on his own. One day when Freddie was just wandering around, he found a dump. At that dump he saw a little friendly dog and a big mean dog. Freddie approached the little dog and the little dog growled and barked at him, but Freddie was not scared. The little dog did not try to act tough then. Then Freddie started to talk with the little dog. The little dog’s name was Spike and he was a watchdog.  He also got dumped. Freddie asked who the big mean dog was. His name was Tiger. Spikes and Tigers owner was a mean old person named Roy. Roy would always hurt the dogs. One day Freddie thought of an idea, so that Spike could escape. The plan was that they would dig a hole under the fence so Spike could crawl under it. The plan worked perfectly. Now Freddie and Spike had to live on there own. Will Freddie and Spike find a happy place to live or will Roy find them? I think this book will appeal to both boys and girls. This book takes place in the country on a farm, so if you like farms and the country life, you should read this book. I usually like Bill Wallace’s books, but I didn’t like this book as much as the other ones he’s written. This book is short and is only 146 pages long.

Thunderfoot had many desires such as the desire to fly. Will Thunderfoot ever be able to fly with his HUGE feet or will Agile’eka ever fall in love with Thunderfoot? Did the coyotes ever attack Thunderfoot or did they become friends? I think this book will appeal to both boys and girls. I thought this book was a good book and it was kind of funny. This book is mostly full of adventures and is only 150 pages long.

This book is about a boy named Trip. Trip does not like reading and all he wants to do is play lacrosse. When Trip and his buddy are on their way to lacrosse tryouts, the president of the PTO asks him to help set up for the book fair. All he had to do was carry a stack of books to a table, but it turns out to be a DISASTER!! When he was carrying a stack of books, they tumble on him and knock him out. When he wakes up he has absolutely no idea where he is. When he encounters a haunted house, aliens, talking animals, dwarfs, the super bowl, wacky super heros, and much much more, he thinks that getting home is a little more unusual than getting on the bus. I think that this book will appeal to both boys and girls. I also thought that this book was really funny, but I think you should be at least 11 years of age to read it. This book is like all genres in one book. I thought that this book was very very clever and unique. I hope you take the time to read this OUTSTANDING book. It is a book that I will always remember.

This book is part of the Disney Fairies series.

Lily is an adorable garden fairy. She has a large garden with big, beautiful flowers she cares for every day. Every fairy in Pixie Hollow loves Lily’s garden. One day, while Lily took a walk in the woods, she came across a beautiful object. Although she wasn’t sure what it was, she loved it. It was round and pearly-white, with flared edges. She later found out it was a seed-to a plant unknown even by Iris, an extremely smart garden fairy. After planting the seed, she realizes the plant is extremely ugly, with big brown dots and sticky slime. The fairies have been telling her it’s no good. It then has an awful smell. Many fairies argue the plant has to go. Lily loves this plant though; she loves ALL plants. As the plant just grows bigger and uglier, all the fairies are getting sick from the plant. They were sneezing and coughing on there leaferchiefs. All of the fairies (except Tinker Bell, Lily, and some friends) are threatening to cut down the plant.    

What will Lily do?
