Product Description

Inside you is the power to do anything

When seven babies are born without shadows, the fairies fear that humankind might be losing its closest companions!

Cinnabar and her friends have to travel by elf magic to reach the mysterious and secret Island of Shadows to try and locate the lost shadows. But, as if that is not hard enough, Madam Toad fears the shadows are not just misplaced, but stolen! Fortunately, the King and Queen of the Shadowmakers-and even their Griffin-are ready to help fight whatever is responsible.

But the fairies will have to work fast. Without the magical protection of shadows, all of mankind will soon be defenseless.

What if you discovered you had magical fairy powers? Meet the girls of The Fairy Chronicles, otherwise normal girls like you with special gifts. Their extraordinary adventures will change the world!

This has turned out to be one of my favorites of the series. I love the reason for the mission and the flow of events in this adventure. The fairies' flying trip on the hawk was one of my favorite parts. Cinnabar's reserved character is well done making her a strong but careful leader. I think we need more of this type of leader in our world, less aggressive with more thinking and planning. This is a good role model for girls.

It is wonderful that this series is now illustrated, such beautiful and flowery tales deserve good art to bring them to life. The artwork has rich depth and a lot of intricacies, it is obviously very good quality and adds a lot to this fairy tale.

My daughter, a fairy herself, disappears into each new Fairy Chronicle book. When she returns, several hours later, she is filled with excitement and inspiration - she then designs her own Web of Dreams friendship bracelet or composes her own shadow poem. The entire series is a wonderful example of storytelling, mixing fact and fantasy, making the brave young heroines partners with the natural world around them, giving my young reader a place to explore various methods of expression.
We own every one in print, and have pre-ordered the titles yet to be released.

J.H. Sweet, Thank You for the magic.

This book has exquisite illustrations. They are colorful, full of detail, and really draw you into the story. My favorite is a somewhat old-fashioned looking illustration of the king and queen of shadowland. It has a black and white look but with some blues, purples, and golds. This was a fun fairy tale to read with exciting and unusual characters like shadowmakers and a griffon. It has a happy ending like most fairy tales. I really enjoyed everything about this book and I will read it again.

When you look at all the bad things in the news today, you can get pretty depressed. This is something that can make you feel good and happy. The pictures in the book put a smile on my face right away, and the fairy mission to the island kept me interested to the very last page. Cinnabar is a wonderful character. She is a ballerina who is graceful and very reserved. Her moth fairy gift of night abilities makes her an excellent choice for this shadowy fairy mission, and she doesn't let us down. In the end, the children who were missing their shadows get them, and we have a happy ending to make us feel good.

We felt like we went along on Cinnabar's mission to the Island of Shadows with her. We could feel the wind in our ears as we rode on the hawk and we felt the splash of the salty sea spray as we rode on the turtle. But we had to hide when the fairies battled the chimera because we didn't have magic wands. (We are going to have to make some magic wands.) We really liked this book and we are going to read it again.
