Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case! Part of the Solve Your Own Mystery seri... Asa is a cool little character; he's intent on uncovering the mystery surrounding Windvale Moor but, unlike his predecessor Benjamin Tooth, he's considerate and kind when it comes to the fairie inhabitants. Because of his care and compassion, he's able to befriend the sprites and get a better understanding of them, rather than run away in fear or try to hurt them. He's a good role model for children reading the book, should any of them ever find a fairie of their own! What do we think of when we encounter traditional fairytales? Magical beings no doubt. Do they appear, only to disappear when humans burst in on them? Are they our size, only dressed in outlandish or anachronistic garb, or are they diminutive with butterfly wings? Do they grant wishes, or do they bring down misfortune upon our heads? Does time warp and change when you stray into their realms, or are there taboos which you must not contravene? Anyway, it was exactly what I was hoping for in a magical adventure book! Its beautiful illustrations really helped make the story come alive.

Condition: Very Good. Main. Ships from the UK. Used book that is in excellent condition. May show signs of wear or have minor defects. This book is about a boy called Asa, who after a huge storm finds a sprite (fairy) in his garden. Determined to find out if anyone else knows about these sprites he looks through old books in the library. What a truly wonderful book! Beautifully and engagingly written and with quirky illustrations. A joy! There are passages in the book which describe cruelty towards the sprites which I would be wary of reading to younger children, which is to say that this book has some depth to it. It makes complete sense in terms of the characters but this is not just a sweet book about fairies. Funny, thought-provoking, and moving. Recommended!

I think other people should read this book because it is a really big mystery that people will be itching to uncover it when you get in to this bookThe boy in the book is like Jane Goodall because he cares about animals. I think many children aged nine to twelve should read this book because they would enjoy it and it has parallels to the real world.
