Cute Story

This is a short book about a girl who finds magical eyeglasses and can see fairies. It's a cute story for young children.

A sweet, short book for younger readers. Cassie finds a pair of glasses almost exactly like her own, but they have a magical property and allow her to see fairies. I would love to find some of those myself.

Sweet children's tale

I very much enjoyed this quick read and think most preteens would as well. Some interesting premises and it was nice to have helpful parents involved.

Description: A little girl named Cassie accidentally puts on someone else's glasses in the bathroom at a sleepover. At first she can't tell the difference between these glasses and hers. But then she discovers these glasses let her see Fairies.

In Short: A cute story about fairies and a little girl trying to find a way to communicate with each other. I recommend this book to small children who like fairies.

Pros: It was a cute story that was descriptive and interesting. There was a bit about the way vision works (rods and cones) that was educational. The story was fast paced and had a happy ending. I liked that her parents were loving, and supportive of her crazy mission.

Cons: I thought the plot was a little weak, like the book was talking down to the age group. There was a lot of buildup to her quest and then a disappointing climax as far as the interaction with the fae went. There were some plot holes in the story, dialogue, and with the parents.

A sweet little book. It would have been nothing special but I LOVED the fact that she eventually went to her parents about the fairies and her parents actually listened.
