Philippa Fisher reunites with her spunky fairy godsister in a sparkling new adventure from the creator of Emily Windsnap. (Ages 8-12)
Philippa Fisher is trying to have a good time on vacation with her parents, but she's feeling lonely. When she meets Robyn, a girl with sad eyes and a strict father, she enjoys the company, but can't help wondering what Robyn and her dad might be hiding. Meanwhile, Daisy, Philippa's best friend (and fairy godsister), sneaks into her former charge's room for a visit, but now has a furtive new mission and must dash away. Philippa longs to uncover the reasons behind her friends' odd behavior, but friendships can be tricky when there are secrets — and unexpected danger — involved! Best-selling author Liz Kessler is back with a sympathetic story about navigating between old friends and new, a tale full of mystery, whimsy, and all the magic tween readers could wish for.

      Gr 5-7-Ever since becoming friendly with a fairy named Daisy in "Philippa's Fairy Godsister" (Candlewick, 2008), 11-year-old Philippa continues to look for magic. When she wins a vacation to the place of her choice, she and her loving but eccentric parents can't decide where to go until an unusual butterfly lands on a place called Ravenleigh Woods, shown on the map as a forest with a river running through it. The butterfly is indeed a magical creaturea fairy with a message to deliver. The vacation is really a rescue mission, saving dreams and the family of the fairy Dream Maker. Philippa gains a friend, helps her learn to grieve for her mother, and discovers that saying goodbye is just "a step along a journey, not the end of it." Two narrative voices are used: one is of Daisy, a member of the fairy organization known as ATC (Above the Clouds), and the other, Philippa's. The voices are differentiated by typeface; they create mystery and tension and lend different points of view to the same action. Dreams, magic, loyalty, and friendship abound in this well-paced, engaging book. Though complementary to the first title, it can be read independent of it."Maria B. Salvadore, formerly at Washington DC Public Library"

      While on vacation, Philippa (Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister) befriends Robyn and reconnects with her "fairy godsister" Daisy. The story takes a while to get moving, and the amusing personality clash between Daisy and Philippa is missing here. What's left is a tale with lots of Kessler's fairy lore, a little bit of mystery, and some New Age psychologizing about grief.
