Gail Carson Levine (Goodreads Author),
David Christiana
"Beware a mermaid's wrath!" the mermaid Soop warns the water-talent fairy Rani. Soop has grown tired of waiting for the magic wand that Rani promised her in exchange for her help saving Never Land.

Annabelle:
I like Prilla the Fairy Talent because it was really fun that she could blink away. And that she made a wish to make Sara Quirtle complete. I liked it that in the end, the wand did only good things. That was my favorite part. And I think it was fun how that Rani the fairy could turn into a bat and how she got out of the bat-brain-thingy. And that's all I like.

I'm shocked at how much I liked this book--which is a favorite of my 6-year-old daughter's. As the middle book in a trilogy, it does more than set the scene for the finale--it forces its characters to face real decisions about the intoxication of power (wand madness), the ramifications of choice (especially the choices that affect others), and the responsibilities we have for each other. This is a tremendous morality play disguised as a Disney book. Thank you, Gail Carson Levine, for placing hig...more
I'm not sure what to say. I bought it at a recent Scholastic warehouse sale because my 4 year old daughter saw the cover with all the fairies and I saw the name of the author whom I usually really enjoy...but this book was somewhat of a disaster. It is published by the "Disney" company and involves Tinkerbell and other fairies from Neverland but the writing is very choppy and formulaic...no individual voice and style to it. The story is confusing and doesn't get very interesting until about 1/2...more
My daughter and I LOVED reading this Disney Fairy book! This book was delightful and we LOVED the magical drawings inside as well. (There is a sketch about every chapter that is exquisite! Beautiful artwork to compliment the fairytale theme!) At just under 200 pages, it is a perfect book to read with your children. (We read about five chapters at a time.) OR a fun fairytale to read all on your own. This book transports you into Fairy Haven to join the magic of a fairy adventure and whimsical cha...more

I am sort of upset that I didn't like this adventure. It's just if you have read my review of Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg you would know why I like the Disney Fairies. They just seem comfortable with themselves. In this book it was all about the fairies having magic wand madness that made them want to wish for what they wanted. Of course things go bad when they get what they want. It is a story that gets told a lot. Yes, Yes, be careful what you wish for. I know this story very well. I...more

Will they get the wand & be able to save the Fairy Haven?Read to find all this out.An awesome book for litt...more
This book has a great story about making right and wrong decisions and the consequences your decisions can have. I read this and then reread it right after to my children, one chapter at a time at bedtime. My kids loved the story and I think my eldest was thinking through what was happening. There are a few pictures throughout the book that are wonderful art. I really enjoyed this book and so did my children!
Oh no! Rani made another estupido mistake and now they have to give a want to a mermaid! Wait a short moment...give a want to a mermaid!? That can't be right! To do that would cause the end of Neverland... or even the world!
But they must! The mermaids are threatening them with a flood. A flood would mean the end of Fairy Haven!
So Queen Ree (Clarion) send the fairies on a quest to go to the mainland and ask the big fairies for a wand.
But it's much more difficult than that. They must overcome the...more

What happens when a selfish mermaid wants a wand? A flood happens. What happens when a fairy hears a mermaids' song? They fairy turns into a bat.
What happens when some fairies go on a quest for a wand? Read it and you'll find out. XD

Follow up to Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg. Levine again tells a good story, with fine spins on mermaids and fairies. Better than average juvenile fantasy, even with the familiar caution about getting what you wish for. My daughter says she liked it better than Egg.
I listened to this one. I'm not sure if it was the reading or just the book. Maybe it would make a little more sense on paper, but the characters keep interrupting each other and so it was hard to keep track of. But, I enjoyed the storyline and the kids really enjoyed the characters.
This book is about Tinkerbell and her friends. They go on a quest for a wand. One of tink's friends cont fly but she fly's on a magic Mother Dove am when she finds out mother Dove is magic she wishes she could fly with wings but she could still swim and breath in the water.
Many children love fairies, and will fall in love with this whimsical tale. "The temptation to wave a wand and get the things you've always wanted, the things you couldn't achieve any other way, is hard to withstand." The illustrations are incredible.

I read this with my daughter and we're hooked! This is the cutest thing I've read with her since, well the last book she had me read. I love authors who can get me hhooked; I ADORE authors who can hook my children!
I found this to be a difficult read-aloud - as a story, it felt really disjointed and I didn't understand exactly what happened, especially to Rani. However, it has beautiful pictures and a good theme.
This is a childrens chapter book. It is a cute story starting around age 6-7. I read the first book in this series and enjoyed it so I thought I would try this one. I am a big fan of Gail Carson Levine.
This book was definately a whole lot better then the other books (other then the egg). It was a lot more well written and the pictures didn't seem so digital. I really liked it.

Another great story by a wonderful storyteller. This takes place soon after Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg and is all about the trouble wishing can get you into. The loveable fairies find themselves in quite a predicament and it's up the Tink, Rani, and Queen Ree to make things right. But when wands are involved nothing goes as planned.
This is a thrilling story about what happens when Never Land gets caught up in a wand. Everyone is making wishes, some good some bad. THis book will make you laugh out loud
This was for a much younger audience than I usually read so it held little interest for me. I like books about fairies and all--but those about Tinker Bell are not for me.
Cute book. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I'd read the other books in the series. It can be read as a stand alone, but it's more confusing that way.
The trouble these fairies get into and what happens to the mermaids was sad and funny. But I thought it would end with the other fairies coming there to the rescue.
When Rena fails to return a wand to the mermaid Soop for the hair comb she gave to her, Soop threatens to flood Fairy Haven. Soop comes through on her threat when Rena says she doesn't have the wand. While Fairy Haven, Mother Dove and the many fairies at Fairy Haven are slowly sinking under water; Rena, Tink and Ree set out on an adventure to find a wand to give to Soop the mermaid. The lives of many are in their hands and they succumb to the magic of the wand, "wand madness". Terrible things go...more
I just realized I read this a long time ago! Gail Carson Levine is one of my favorite authors! But, lets face it, I have a lot of favorite authors! ;)
''FAIRY HAVEN AND THE QUEST FOR THE WAND'' this book is okay it reminds me of Tinker Bell and her fairy friends... But its a pretty good book!
So so so cute! Definitely meant for younger readers, but I still really enjoyed it. Set in Neverland, fun plot, cute characters.
Wish fulfillment. The challenge of getting everything you ever wanted. Magical wands are tricky in the wrong hands.
Cute story, fun characters, good moral. Beautiful illustrations. Good for 2-6th graders I would think.

A cute book - not as complex as the longer novels, but beautiful illustrations and a sweet story.

Just letting you all know: I'm only going to review books I love. There's enough negative criticism without me piling on. A book is too hard to write.
