Bloom Peters is a regular Earth girl, until the day she meets Stella Solaris, princess and fairy of Solaria, fighting an ogre in the park. When Bloom accidently releases a huge burst of magical energy, she realizes she has Winx power like Stella. So Bloom goes off to Alfea College for Fairies and meets three more friends: Flora Lavencense from Linphea, Musa Beatrock from Melody, and Tecna Binary from Zenith. But when the three Trix, Icy, Darcy, and Stormy, try to steal Stella's scepter, it's up to the Winx to save the day!

I've always been a fan of the Winx Club. I really don't know why, I just love it. But anyway, I like the idea of books summarozong TV shows. I think this one is a summary of episodes 1 to about 3 or 4. But yonestly, I like the show better. But I guess you can't beat the original. I'm gonna emd this off with a request. Kirsten! Remember to give me your Lockette and Amore dolls when you don't want them anymore!!

This is the first book in a series of Winx books, and it parallels the first episode. Bloom comes to the aid of a fairy and ends up finding out she has potential to use magic. Her parents allow her to attend the Althea School for Fairies (which, interestingly enough, is mis-spelled on the back cover.)


There she meets her roommates, her teachers, the evil witches from the school for witches, and the boys from the school for heroes.


Bloom's talents get challenged and she's finally able to realize that she does have magical abilities and can become a fairy.

There are a couple of objections I have, though. One: the witches are evil, matching the stereotype of witches. Why do all the witches have to be evil? Second, the school for heroes is school for only boys. So this makes it appear that girls (1) can't be heroes, and (2) if they many of the girls who have magical abilities are evil witches, but no boys are presented as being evil. It's sort of a sexist approach and I think some other approach might have been better.
