Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg

Meer over het boek

Seasoned fractured fairy tale teller Gail Carson Levine presents a captivating backstory of Tinker Bell and her companions in this beautifully illustrated addition to the Neverland saga. Freckled and eager to please, Prilla is a brand-new fairy, born from a baby's laugh. Upon arriving in Neverland, she is disheartened to find she lacks talent for any fairy vocation. Tinker Bell, a pots-and-pans-talent fairy, introduces Prilla to Mother Dove, who guards a single blue egg containing the secret to the island's eternal youth. However, disaster strikes when a hurricane disrupts their meeting, causing Mother Dove to lose her nest and shatter the precious egg. As a result, the inhabitants of Neverland begin to age. The only hope lies in a group of brave fairies who must gather the egg pieces and seek the help of Kyto the dragon to restore it with his fiery breath. To succeed, they must first collect treasures to bribe the dragon. Chosen by Mother Dove, Prilla joins the quest. Can this no-talent fairy save Neverland from impending doom? While drawing inspiration from Disney's Peter Pan, Levine's version feels refreshingly original, enriched by charming maxims and David Christiana's exquisite illustrations that breathe new life into this beloved classic.
