[Armadillo 10.2 Summer 2008]

School for fairies, Glitterwings Academy, is the coolest place to learn the fairy craft! Packed with exciting characters and great storylines, this delightful new series is gloriously packaged and would make a lovely gift for any occasion.

Each book follows the adventures of Twink and her fairy friends. Flying High, Midnight Feast, Friends Forever and Fairy Dust are the first four books, which should be a sure fire hit for readers of the Rainbow Magic series, and the familiar fantasy school setting will appeal to Harry Potter fans. A personal favourite is Friends Forever, which deals with Twink's dilemma over helping a baby wasp. However, wasps and fairies have been enemies for centuries, so what will she do?

Each book explores rich themes within a beautifully written concise story, ideal for confident readers. Lovely illustrations accompany these highly recommended books.
