Disney Fairies: The Never Girls #1
Disney Never Girls in a Blink
The Disney Fairies star in a magical all-new early chapter book series for kids ages 6 to 10—The Never Girls!
The smell of salt water, a gust of seabreeze, and the bell-like ringing of a fairy's laugh are the only hints that something magical is happening to Kate, Mia, Lainey, and Gabby. In a blink of an eye, the four friends are whisked out of their ordinary lives to the most wonderful place of all—Never Land, home to fairies, mermaids . . . and now four lost girls. The girls don't want to leave right away, but Queen Clarion and Tinker Bell have figured out a way for them to get home. Will Kate, Mia, Lainey, and Gabby's fantastic adventure end before it's barely begun?

The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.
Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design.

He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual.

همونطور که همهمون میدونیم بچههای این دوره خیلی باهوش هستن و با کتابهای احمق و شخصیتهای احمقتر دیگه حال نمیکنند. درکل هر حرف یا هر چیز احمقانهای تو کتشون نمیره و نمیشه سرشون رو شیره مالید و خب اون دوره ما بود که اگه تهدیگ یا وسط هندونه رو میخوردیم، بابامون میمرد.
چهار دختر به اسم کیت، میا، لینی و گبی که درحال بازی کردن هستن با اشتباه یه پری به سرزمین جادویی نورلند وارد میشن جایی که به کمک تینکربل و ملکه کلاریون باید راهی برای خروج از اونجا پیدا کنند.
این کتاب واقعا مناسب بچههای 7 تا 12 سال نیست و شاید بچههای خیلی کوچیک مثل بچههای زیر 5 سال این کتابها رو دوست داشته باشن(البته که من بعید میدونم!)
داستان و الخصوص تصویرگری کتاب ناامیدم کرد! ضعیفتر از اون چیزی بود که تصور کردم(من همیشه گول این کاورهای خوشگل کتابها رو میخورم).
من کارتون تینکربل رو زیاد ندیدم و یادم نمیاد اما تا جایی که میدونم انقدر بداخلاق نبود البته شاید هم من فراموش کردم، نمیدونم.
البته که کرم این هم دارم ادامه مجموعه رو بخونم و در وقت مناسب با اینکه هیچ هایپی واسه ادامش ندارم شاید مابقی مجموعه رو هم بخونم.
نمیدونم چرا نشر پرتقال یا حالا مترجم اسم کتاب رو تغییر داده و من برای پیدا کردنش خیلی اذیت شدم؛ توی ایران این مجموعه به اسم «در سرزمین پریها» با ترجمه نیلوفر عزیزپور منتشر و اسم این جلد هم «گَرد جادویی» گذاشته شده.

So, where is Peter Pan in all this? (My daughter cutely suggested that perhaps Peter Pan is on vacation and that "maybe Pixie Hollow has different rules than the rest of Neverland). What I mean is, why are the fairies and Clumsies so worried about being able to leave Neverland? Peter Pan took the Darlings back and should theoretically be able to take the Clumsies back. Peter Pan can fly back and forth between worlds after all. Perhaps, I missed the part in the book where we learn that there a Neverland rule that wouldn't allow that (there isn't). Since the girls seem knowledgeable of Neverland (they know about Skull Rock and the Mermaids), why don't they ask about Peter Pan and if he can help them?
Also, why did Tink suddenly get all misty eyed about the girls when she found out about the stolen fairy dust and Kate's secret meeting with Vidia. Personally, I think that a mad and spunky Tink should have added it to her list of reasons the Clumsies were pests. Something other than Kate stuck in a tree should have happened to change Tink's mind about the Clumsies. It seemed forced at the end...a let me hurry up and tidy up the end of this book type of writing, but I doubt that would bother a child reading this book. The ending is happy and leaves the reader wanting more, which is fantastic.
Overall, is a cute story line. I just hope the next book doesn't suffer from the same things this one does. Either way, I'm sure most little girls would enjoy this series. I've very rarely met a little girl who doesn't love fairies.

We are HUGE Peter Pan fans in our house, and could not be more thrilled with the many ways his legacy continues. This most recent nod to the boy who never grew up is every bit as much fun as we could have hoped for! This first book in a brand new series will delight parents who love Peter as much as the girls who will read it and want to be Never Girls themselves. My daughter is hooked already. Well done, Disney!

Fairy dust..magical fairy adventure.

I wish that children's authors would please realize that children for the most part are very smart. I wouldn't give this book to my (future) children because it's full of stupid characters being stupid. It also has no continuity with the Pixie Hollow books (which are a million times better than this! Even though they don't make much sense either...). I'm just sick of reading children's books where the author is so obviously writing for unintelligent people. The story didn't make sense, the characters were obnoxious and the art left much to be desired.

Amazing story and I can't wait to read the second one
June 3, 2013
I picked this book and the next one, The Space Bewteen, at Sams club. The titles intrigued me; but I was unable to open the books up since they ere wrapped in plastic. I did manage to get a peek, though, and decided that my six year old granddaughter would be able to read these, I gave in to my impulse to read In a Blink before sending it off to my granddaughter and I am glad I did. I found the story to be enjoyable and full of adventure. The development of the characters flowed well and they were believable. I didn't intend to read the second book; but of course I did. I also preordered the next one, A Dandelion Wish. I sent both books to my granddaughter who has started the series. We talk on the phone about the books, what was our favorite part, what will happen next, why did Katie do what she did...we started our own little book clutch! What a wonderful way for a grandma and granddaughter to stay in touch long distance!

What a fun book! In a Blink is a quick read, but perfect for those 6-10 years old. I think this would be a great book for one of the book clubs I run.
Three friends, Mia, Kate and Lainey are playing soccer when the start to notice odd things happening. Then, Mia's little sister, Gabby begins talking to a fairy, and since she is known for her playing make believe, this does not strike them odd, until they all end up in Neverland! This caused quite a bit of chaos since "Clumsies" as the humans are called do not often come to Neverland. They are taken to Queen Clarion and they decide the best way to send them home. It is said that you can never retrun to Neverland once you go home. (I thought Wendy traveled back and forth, but I could be confusing the book with the movie.) The girls are in no hurry to return home, and they have some fun while in Neverland. The girls learn how to fly! All except, Kate, that is who has a little trouble, but she meets Vidia who promises to teach her. Anyone who follows the fairies, knows Vidia is always up to something!
The book was a lot of fun to read, and it brings in characters like Tinkerbell, Prilla, Queen Clarion, and Vidia. Tink's personality was perfect, a bit of a pouty brat with a spunky side. I never read the Disney Fariies series, but I think I may and use them also for book club.

I read this book for the first time probably a decade ago, but last week me and my sisters (we're all teenagers mind you) decided to revisit it. I read like two chapters out loud every night and it was such a wholesome experience 10/10 recommend haha.

June 6, 2020I remember truly loving these in 3rd grade so I'm going to go from my small amount of memories of it and say they're pretty good lol.

It was very fun to read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s fun but I don’t think anyone was acting like themselves
October 10, 2014
This looked like an interesting book, however I was mostly annoyed at the changing POVs at every moment, Tinkerbell is still a stupid fairy and should explode in a pile of fairy dust.
So since I am not really in the mood for a normal review, I will do my good/bad review.
Good:
-Yay! We are finally back at Neverland. So happy that someone decided to write books about it again. And this time not about Peter, oh no, about the fairies that live there.
-I love the fairies and their abilities. Each one had a certain ability, so you would have one that took care of the mice, one that did the harvest and one so on.
-Yay! Evil fairies. I love those, gives the story a bit of a spark and a much needed hint of evilness.
-Nice illustrations, however... (see bad points)
-Cover is nice.
Bad:
-Tinkerbell or should I say Tinkerhell or Tinkerkill, is just as bitchy as she was in Peter Pan and various other adaptations. Dear Lord, she is stuck-up, totally mean and rude to people who aren't her kind. Oh wait, unless it is Peterweter Panniwannie because she LUBS him (too bad for her he doesn't LUB her).
-Insert more Tinkerbell annoyances.
-The illustrations. They were nice, but I felt they were really lacking. Like they were meant to be in colour, but due to some magical reasons are now in black and white, which totally don't fit them and make them lacklustre and boring.
-The changing POVs, at times I just didn't know who was talking, and in the end I totally just went with the flow and just didn't care any more. This is a bad thing. Don't just change your characters at every moment! Bad, very bad thing!
-The ending was so predictable.
-It was a bit bland. It started off pretty awesome but turned out to blandness. I wish they would have visited Peter or had some adventures, but no, all they do is chat, chat, chat and do some stuff, but nothing really special.
Will I be reading the rest of this series? Nope. Sorry, my hatred for Tinkerbell is only growing and makes me want to throw with this book (not that I would ever, but well you all know the feeling).

I wish found these when my daughter was really deep into the dreadful rainbow fairy books that were so formulaic. This is SO MUCH BETTER. First, it’s not a ghost writer. Second it’s connected to Peter Pan’s Neverland, so that’s fun. Lastly, it really did take the kids away into a magical world. I could see their faces drift and their mannerisms acting out some of the magic as we read. So cute. The ending was a total shocker for us. My recess readers will be back for more of this series.

My 3 daughters loved it and we are on the search for the next one!
August 21, 2026
This book is a very, exciting and adventurous book about a fairy named Prilla who comes into the real world by blinking as that is her talent as a fairy. However when Prilla tries and blinks to get back to Never land she takes Kate, Mia, Lainey and Gabby all with her. Will they ever get back to their home, will their parents notice or will just a blink of time have passed...

Layla and I give this beautiful, magical book five stars!!!! Layla thinks I’m a Gabby but I think I’m more of a Lainey. I agree and Layla agrees she is a MIA! It was so fun reading this outside and believing we were fairies
Recommend!!!!

A sweet and magical read-aloud! My daughter loved the Twinkle books, and this was the perfect transition to chapter books. A wonderful bedtime story for kids who enjoy fairies, adventure, and imaginative worlds.
April 12, 2017
It was very a cute and short story. I will read the next ones for sure! I love how this is inspired by the Tinker Bell movies!

Addi wanted me to read this and I love anything Disney, so this was adorable!!

Cute read aloud for my girls, and even the 10 yr old boy always snuck in to listen :-)
August 29, 2023
This is such a fun, fantasy/adventure series with great vocabulary and strong female characters. My daughter and I both loved it and can’t wait to read the next one!

My little one enjoyed me reading this before bedtime ❤️ It's a cute story 😊

Neither good nor bad. Obviously I’m not the target audience. Hopefully students like it more than I did. 3 stars

Cute book! I love that it's written by Kiki Thorpe and stays in line with what has already been written about pixie hollow.

Review by Grace, age 7, 3/17/18
This is a book about four girls: Kate, Mia, Lainey, and Gabby. When they were playing "Monkey in the Middle," Gabby saw a fairy in the flower garden. And then, suddenly, "blink!", they were in the fairy world - but they didn't know that! They didn't know where they were, and they started getting scared. But they actually made friends with the fairy and they got a room. They were happy, but they were scared that their mothers would be afraid. So they sent a note that said they were fine with the fairy Prilla. At the end of the book the fairy Prilla tried to "blink" them back home, but it didn't work. So they had many more adventures before them.
I would definitely definitely read another book in this series. It was the best! I would recommend this book to everybody.

I read Peter Pan to my preschooler recently and she LOVED it and has wanted more ever since!
We came across the first two books in this Disney 'Never Land' series and knew they were perfect for our nightly storytime! We read one chapter a night and it still seemed to fly by! We are looking forward to the second book!
My full review was originally shared on Lazy Day Literature.
The perfect chapter book series for young readers that love Disney's Peter Pan and/or Tinkerbell!
In The Never Girls series, four girls have been magically whisked away to Never Land thanks to a fairy's 'blink'. The fairy, Prilla, didn't mean to blink the 'Clumsies' to Pixie Hollow but now that they are on the island the way home is too far. Queen Clarion sets Tinkerbell with the task of watching over the girls until they can find a way home for them and in the meantime, the girls explore and learn the ways of the fairies and have a lovely time as Lost Girls!
I read an abridged chapter book version of J.M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan' to my daughter over the summer and she adored it, as I had hoped. She already knew about Tinkerbell but didn't know much about Peter Pan or the pirates (because we didn't own the movie at the time) and now she knows the full story and we've since watched the cartoon, the live-action film, and even Hook, as well as all of the Tinkerbell films that are on Netflix. We found the first two books in The Never Girls series at a thrift store in perfect condition and dug right in knowing that they are about the fairies that live in Pixie Hollow!
My daughter is younger than the suggested ages but she requested that I read chapter books to her earlier this year so I have obliged and these 'early chapter books' are the perfect length and font size for us! Depending on how tired we are, we either split a chapter or read one whole chapter a night. They don't take long to get through so we're already looking to buy the rest of the series!
I love that this series continues the Peter Pan storyline of children being whisked away to the magical island of Never Land where fairies, mermaids, and even pirates live. This story is a little more innocent though and reminds me much more of the Tinkerbell movies than the rough-and-tumble adventures of Peter Pan. My daughter loved that one of the girls was a lot younger and that they all were able to fly like the fairies!
We're looking forward to continuing this wonderful series!
