So when all the fireflies come down with the firefly flu, who organizes light for Pixie Hollow? Fira. And when the mining-talent set off on their monthly expedition into the underground caves, who lights the way? Fira, of course. But she s exhausted, and the deeper the miners go, the more her glow flickers and fades. Fira s full moon may turn out to be her darkest hour!
Customer Review: Two Good Stories
RANI & THE MERMAID LAGOON: Fairy society is built upon being tiny and having wings. Rani's heroic sacrifice of her wings (in a previous adventure) has left her handicapped and without a clear place in Pixie Hollow. Rani goes questing in search of a new home. Very well written. The story stays focused, correctly, on Rani. Lisa Papademetriou does not make the mistake of giving Rani ALMIGHTY water super powers. This is not an "Aqua-girl" story. I was disappointed that the mermaids were not a bit more like Disney's "Little Mermaid" Ariel, but this is the universe of Peter Pan and besides Ariel is not your typical mermaid. The CD version is read by Quincy Tyler Bernstine. I could listen to her voice all day. FIRA & THE FULL MOON: Fira is outnumbered by her triplets and has to apologize to her townsfolk a lot. (Single mom + 3 bickering kids = go away now please.) But the day is saved when her kids disobey her instructions to stay home and follow her deep into a dangerous mine! Yay! Actually, the story was pretty good. A fun read. The CD version is read by the talented Debra Wiseman.
Customer Review: a bit long winded
This tape would benefit being accompanied by a book. The stories are very long and interesting, but don't keep the attention of a 4 year old. It may be better for older children.
