Will Thistle ever escape the nickname Bad Fairy?

Thistle Greenbud thought the nickname Bad Fairy was behind her, but she can't escape it. Someone is spreading a rumor about her that just isn't true and can ruin all of her hard work in getting into Advanced School. What fairy would do such a thing?

As if that's not bad enough, Thistle's dad goes missing. Not a single fairy in Tinselville has seen him. He's vanished like pixie dust. Her mom is distraught, and Thistle is worried. Where could he be?

Thistle and the Flutters, along with Dusty and Moss, are on both cases. Can they find out what happened to her dad and solve the Bad Fairy rumor? Thistle hopes so!

FAIRY DUST:

Fairy dust is extremely important to fairies.

When fairies are babies, a little bit of fairy dust is sprinkled on their wings every day until they are old enough to fly. In order for fairy dust to do this, it has to go through a special magical process. If the dust hasn’t gone through the magical phase, then it just stays dust and is useless to fairies.

That’s why Sparkles Factory and the fairies who work there are so crucial. Sparkles Factory is where bags of dust are transformed into magical fairy dust. Thistle’s dad is one of the fairies in charge of watching over this process.

Once fairy dust is made, it’s now time for the bags to get tied off. This is when another group of important fairies come in, like Thistle’s mom. They close up the bags of fairy dust with specially made ribbons. Now the dust is ready to be delivered to Fairview Hospital and Petal Patch where flower fairy babies grow in flowers.

But what would happen if a bad fairy stole fairy dust???



EXCERPT:

Moss says, “My uncle Wingly said that some fairy dust has gone missing from the warehouse.”

The Flutters gasp.

My eyes widen in shock. “Why would anyone want to steal fairy dust? It’s crucial for fairy babies to fly.” Did someone want fairies not to have the ability to fly?

“Whoever it is isn’t stealing the small bags of magical dust,” Moss explains. “They’re stealing the large bags used for storing the dust before they go through the magical spell center. No one claims to see anyone taking them, either. Sheriff Webbing is at a loss. With the fairy dust thief, your dad’s disappearance, and the rumors about you, he and his team have a lot to handle.”

I swallow. Why hasn’t Mom said anything about this? Maybe it happened at the same time Dad disappeared. Could my dad be involved in this?

My review:  

Bad Fairy Strikes Again is the second book of the Bad Fairy Adventure series. In this story, Thistle, nick-named "bad fairy" has a mystery to solve. Actually, several. First, where's her dad? Second, who's stealing fairy dust? Third, who's spreading rumors about her making fairies think she's a bad fairy?

It's a quick read and a fun romp through the whimsical world of the fairies. Young readers will enjoy the fun fairy words and following Thistle on her second adventure. They'll also learn some important lessons about friendship and acceptance. Appropriate for young middle-grade readers who enjoy fantasy and stories about fairies.  5Stars

    1. Hi, Jeff. Middle grade is more defined by ages. This one is best for kids ages 7-12, depending on their reading level. But in terms of grades, it'd be about grade 4-6.
