The Siren's Song

A Pixie Called Pudding #2

by Travis Flynn

Rescue has come at last for pixiedom’s most infamous inventor, but it takes a form that she hardly expected. Rather than offering Pudding and her friends a sense of relief, their rescuers bring the dismal news that a pixie very dear to Pudding is being held captive by extremely dangerous forces in a far away city called Troy.

Facing nearly impossible odds and a host of dangerous beings, Pudding embarks on an adventure where she discovers that the sinister events at Troy go deeper than a simple kidnapping. It will take all of her genius and inventing prowess if she hopes to save not only the unfortunate prisoner, but the world itself.

Have you ever wondered how the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids? Or who came up with the idea of the submarine? Or who designed the Horse of Troy? Or what happened to Atlantis?
All those questions, and more, are answered in A Pixie Called Pudding, The Siren's Song and The Wayward King by Travis Flynn.

Mr Flynn has a bachelor's degree in Chemistry and a master's in Management Information Systems... and it shows in his books. He has brought a magical mix of science, information and fantasy together. No major technical terms, but you can tell that there is a profound understanding of how things work. And that makes it a joy to read.

Pudding has built a submarine and is about to take it on a test dive. Her best friends, Fidget and Jinx are joining her. As does her other friend, Nemesis. True to his name, Fidget is slightly fidgety about the whole ordeal, but his love for sweet Pudding ensures that he is there. Jinx... well, Jinx is... hazardous. With all the best intentions in the world, anything he touches just goes a little... wrong. But it is Nemesis that causes the biggest problems; jealous of Pudding and her wild inventions, Nemesis has some tricks up her utterly fashionable sleeves.

Throughout the books, the four Pixies meet the most colourful of characters and have the most amazing adventures; I loved being able to accompany them on their journeys. And there is still so much more room for further explorations... which is good, seeing how Mr Flynn is working on the fourth instalment.

The series A Pixie Called Pudding is written for younger readers. But... if you like fantasy (and I know you do), you will find this an enjoyable read, no matter your age.

Hip Hip Hurray!

This is a great sequel to A Fairy Called Pudding. This book is definitely worth to get. Great for kids ages 9-13 : )

I really loved the first book in the Pixie called pudding Series but this one not so much. It seemed to drag for me and I became tired of it quickly to the point I was having to force myself to keep reading. On top of that, Pudding is perfect, she has no flaws, which makes her unrealistic as a character and as a result became a little annoying after a while.

This is a great sequel to "The Pixie Called Pudding." These books contain a lot of adventure and suspense, some humor, and a lot of supernatural happenings. I would recommend them for children ages 9-13.
