Read A-likes: The Flower Fairies and The Third Wish.

Personal Thoughts: This book, while definitely on the younger end of the scale, is a fun and charming read.  Very imaginative and well written.  It is the first book in a series entitled “Fairy Realm” written by the same author, and are wildly popular with young girls.  Young Jessie learn all about choices and the consequences of those choices.
