Exactly what the world needs!

Cally and Jackson are friends since childhood. Cally has her head in the clouds and is always looking for her next adventure. Jackson is grounded and logical, always worrying about something. Together, the friends find themselves in Fairyland, a most mystical, wonderful place. Of course, nothing is forever, or is it? Will the friends be able to get back to this enchanting place where dreams are a reality and all their fears dissipate?

DeAnna does an amazing job helping the reader realize that Fairyland is actually a reality for children and adults, if you let it be. All you have to do is believe. So often, as adults, we forget about all the magic around us - thrusting the belief on our children and the youth of our society. Believing in such things and having that innocence is an integral part of what it is to be a child (and maybe even an adult). She reminds us that no matter who you are, where you’re from or how old you are, those sparks and mystical things that seem unrealistic are right beside us all along. We just have to listen and believe. 

An excellent, colourful read for any preteen hoping to actualize that escapism is realism.

Such a cute book!

I read this alongside my 11 year old son. Neither of us is ‘new’ to fairies, angels and magic, so this made so much sense to us both. We would recommend as a gift for any tween!!

Perfect for children and those of us still children at heart

This is a whimsical adventure for children and those of us who remain children at heart. I adored travelling to Fairyland alongside Cally, Jackson, and Max. Within the pages of her book DeAnna has truly captured the enchantment of childhood, when anything was possible and every day had its own magical moments.

But it’s also more than the magic of childhood and bigger topics like learning to let go of fear, connecting with your own inner spark, and realizing you aren’t on your own are also covered in an age-appropriate way.
