When Cassie finds a magic pair of glasses that allow her to see fairies, she has to figure out where they came from . . . and what the fairies want her to do with them.
This is a nice story for emerging tweens and anyone that likes a nice uncomplicated story about youngsters that happen to have a "sensitivity" to fairies. This was a well written story that captured my attention and flowed well. If my "girls" weren't in their 20's already, it's probably a series that I would have purchased for them.
A very cute book about the curious nature of fairies and the desire of a girl to help a friend. I like the fact that the girl also engages her parents in her delimma. It is a great short story.
This is such a lovely, magical book that will appeal to fantasy fans of any age – but is primarily aimed at young girls. When I was a young girl, one of my favourite poems ended “on every leaf of every tree, a fairy sat and smiled at me”. I would have so much loved to have seen fairies, so can fully understand Cassie’s joy when she finds a set of glasses that enable her to see myriads of fairies, all around her, going about their everyday business. Of course, saying you can see fairies will usually lead to people thinking you are crazy. So, Cassie is extremely fortunate in that her best friend, Daisy, a girl from school, Bianca and (most importantly of all) her parents are all willing to believe her, or at least willing not to dismiss her claims out of hand. The book also deals with the important issues of Stranger-Danger and bullying. Because her parents believe her, Cassie is happy to agree not to go anywhere with the fairies, without first getting her parents’ permission. Had they not accepted that Cassie believed she was seeing fairies, it would have been much more likely that she would hide everything from them, and perhaps be drawn into danger (lesson for parents!). Bianca is bullied because of her itchy skin, but in Cassie she finds a friend, and a reason for her malady. Additionally, there is some science thrown in about the primary colours for paint and light, and how they are perceived through our eyes. So, an educational fantasy book. The only problem with this book, is that it ends all too soon. Fortunately, there are another nine books in this series, each with a different child, a different way of perceiving fairies and a different bit of science.
In this children's short chapter book, Cassie finds a pair of magical glasses where she is able to see fairies! The only problem is, why can she them? What message do they have for her?
Ms. Sorensen has written a sweet, innocent tale that many can enjoy. The author has also created a new world that can easily be led to more and bigger plot lines in her succeeding books in the series.
Fairy Eyeglasses is a wonderful, light read for young elementary school children, especially those who enjoy some fantasy (and fairies) in their reading!
A sweet little book. It would have been nothing special but I LOVED the fact that she eventually went to her parents about the fairies and her parents actually listened.
A sweet, short book for younger readers. Cassie finds a pair of glasses almost exactly like her own, but they have a magical property and allow her to see fairies. I would love to find some of those myself.
Usually, I don't like stories with faeries, but this one is really cute. I received for free through Instafreebie, I think, and it's a cute middle grade fantasy story about a girl who finds a pair of magical Eyeglasses capable of let see fairies. I loved especially the reaction of the parents when Cassie says that she can see fairies. They are really lovely.
Interesting story. The whole fairy premise seems a little unrealistic - how did she recognize what she saw instantly? However, I appreciated the relationship with her parents - she involved them and was honest with them, and they trusted her and supported her. All of the relationships and thought processes were well portrayed.
Fairy Eyeglasses is an adorable children's story that brings to life the delight of a child's imagination.
When Cassie accidentally puts on glasses at a slumber party, mistaking them for her own, she is surprised to see fairies flying around. When she tries to return the glasses, no one will admit to owning them, creating a mystery in her mind. Just whose glasses are they and why can she see fairies when no one else can?
Ms. Sorenson has a light hand with this book. It is fresh and moves quickly, surely to delight any young child who may believe in fairies. I was pleasantly surprised by how supportive Cassie's parents were, especially since they initially came across as too busy. Overall, this book reminds us of the power of a child's imagination. I'm sure the remaining books in this series will be just as delightful.
An adorable fairy book for younger readers Cassie finds a pair of glasses that allows her to see fairies. They seem to have a message for her, and she needs to figure it out what that message is. For middle grade readers who enjoy a simple fantasy story with fairies that is easy to relate to -- I know, right? A fantasy story to relate to? With fairies? Trust me on this one, and young readers will love this book if they like fairies. It's a relatively quick read with a simple plot but also some education information thrown in there as well. Light fairy mythology is included but doesn't drag down the story. Lots of room to continue with a series expanding the tales or jumping over to other characters. Another well done book from Emily Martha Sorensen.
A cute story about how a little girl finds enchanted glasses that allows her to see fairies.
It’s definitely for the 6-10 age range,
I few things I loved was how she wrote the characters and put in some cool facts about things like color. I really enjoyed how the parents and how supportive they where with their daughter. I did get a bit bored a bit while reading, (I am a few years over the targeted age so it’s to be suspected) but it was still captivating enough that I read to the end.
Who wouldn't want glasses that let you see all of the fairies around us? I read this to my granddaughter who is 5 and she was in love! As soon as it was over she wanted more!
It was nice to see how her parents believed her and even helped her. Magic is all around us and I am so glad I received an advance copy of this precious book to read and give an honest review. I honestly loved it and we look forward to the next one.
What a cute story? My daughter is not quite old enough yet to understand this storyline, but I'm glad I bought this book to share with her when she is a little older.
Cassie is a strong main character with many good qualities that more children should have today in order to keep friends. Her honesty and good nature make this story fun and up beat. Can't wait to see what other fairy adventures she can solve.
This was a kindle freebie and it was very well done. It was extremely well-written and I thought that the concept, and the way that it was explained was very original. I enjoyed the description of the fairies and would buy the next books in the series if I wanted something fun to read on a long trip. I recommend this to someone looking for a quick, fun, magical read.
I purchased a copy of this book at the current price. I am voluntarily providing an honest review in which all opinions are fully my own. I am not being compensated in any way.

What it’s about…
Cassie attends a sleep-over where she finds a pair of eyeglasses almost the same as her own pair. These glasses let her see fairies, though! Fairies are all over the place and no one else sees them.
She thinks the glasses must belong to one of the other girls at the party, except no one else claims them. She tries to return them to Bianca, but she doesn’t claim them either. Although they do work out Bianca’s big problem!
Cassie tells her parents what has happened and all about the eyeglasses and fairies. Her parents believe her and trust her to do the right thing.
What will happen when Cassie speaks with the last fairy?
Technical Tidbits…
The cover is consistent with what the author has chosen for the series. I think it’s a bit on the bland side. I like the pale fairy dust like background. I think the eyeglasses with fairies showing through them should have been done to look more like a real pair of little girls’ glasses and show glimpses of fairies through them. The glasses on the cover look like men’s glasses and are not realistic looking. The fairies are not fun looking! They need more whimsy.
The storyline is fabulous! I loved it, but I am not a child. I looked at reviews to see if there were many from children, but there were only two, one liked and one didn’t like. So, I’m trying to put myself in a child’s mind to judge this. The concept is really good and I think this would appeal to children, particularly girls. I don’t mean to be a sexist, but it’s about a girl and fairies, so I think it would appeal to girls more.
The characters weren’t developed a lot, but in children’s books, they don’t need to be to tell the story.
The pace was good. It was steady but paused a bit when a child might need to think about some of what was happening.
The tension was consistent throughout the story keeping your attention throughout.
Writing Quality was very good. It talked about good concepts you want children to think about, but didn’t talk over their heads in language too hard for them to understand.
And this is where you STOP if you don’t want to see any SPOILERS…
The good, the bad, and the ugly…and how much it lit up my life… ✰✰✰✰
Cassie finds the glasses and really wants to keep them so she can see the fairies. But she’s honest enough to know she should find the owner. She talks things out with Bianca and though the glasses don’t belong to her, the girls do resolve her itching problem with the glasses. So Bianca is happy.
Cassie talks with her parents about the glasses, the fairies, their colors, and what could go wrong and such. They believe her and trust her to do the right thing. So finally Cassie decides the glasses were meant for her and puts them on to seek the final primary fairy. Wow! That’s a lot to put on a child. I was amazed that her parents believed her at first. Then I realized the author was trying to say something. Of course, her parents would believe her. Why wouldn’t her parents believe her? Obviously, she is a truthful little girl and they have no reason not to believe her as she has given them no cause in the past not to believe her. There is a bond of trust between parents and child here as there should be between all parents and their children. I guess I expected a bit more doubt from the parents. I mean, fairies? Maybe it’s just my own experience with parents or as a parent.
Then Cassie has her interview with the White Fairy and the fairy disappears with the glasses. Cassie is upset. The fairy has taken away the glasses. Cassie thinks that means she won’t be able to see the fairies anymore even though she made the promises to the fairy to always believe in them and always pay attention to them. But Cassie gets her happy ending the next morning when she doesn’t need the fairy glasses to see fairies.
This book addresses things straight on and with the ultimate desirable result. To my adult mind, it seems unrealistic. To a child, it hopefully would seem like a great example of how things should be and how they should behave. I’m just not sure that’s how life works outside a perfect world.
Cassie attends a sleepover at a classmate's house and finds a pair of eyeglasses. When she puts these glasses on, she can see fairies, but she can't seem to communicate with them,. Others who try on the glasses see no fairies. Cassie takes another girl and her parents into her confidence. Eventually, they figure out a way in which she can find out why the fairies have given her the gift of the eyeglasses.
This is a cute short story. I think it's aimed at girls ages seven through ten or eleven. It's likely that girls older than that will be too sophisticated to accept the suspension of disbelief required.
There were a few things that bothered me about this book. First, while it's fairly well written, it could use some additional editing. At times, I thought the writing a little awkward in phrasing and transitions. Second, I didn't like the way Cassie's mother treated her in the early part of the book. A mother shouldn't dismiss one child because she's recently had another. She should also encourage the older child to spend time with the new baby, not yell at her not to touch him. Later in the book, the mother seems more interested in Cassie and her troubles. Finally, I thought the ending a bit abrupt. I suspect that was done on purpose to get you to buy the next book in the series, so you can find out what happens to Cassie next. Will her friendship with Bianca continue? What do the fairies want from her, want her to do?
This book will likely be enjoyed by young girls, but I doubt boys will find it overly interesting. Again, the age range I see enjoying this is about seven to eleven.
HI i am Cassie and then i am in school and a bunch of girls went to a sleep over party at a friends house and the girls were waiting in line one of the girls get in the bath room i go in and take my glasses off and then i try to wipe the mirror to see to do what i needed

i am doing this review for the book for free i received the book for the review
Jasmine’s had invited all the girls over for a sleepover party. Cassie had no intention of stealing Bianca’s glasses. The bathroom was all foggy & Cassie put on a set of glasses. Suddenly she thought she saw a blue fairy. It appeared & then disappeared. Cassie screamed & ran to Bianca as she had fallen off the jungle gym. She got checked out & was back in school. It was a green fairy this time. & then a white fairy.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written elementary or MS age fairy tale book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great elementary or MS age fairy tale movie, animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

Description: A little girl named Cassie accidentally puts on someone else's glasses in the bathroom at a sleepover. At first she can't tell the difference between these glasses and hers. But then she discovers these glasses let her see Fairies.
In Short: A cute story about fairies and a little girl trying to find a way to communicate with each other. I recommend this book to small children who like fairies.
Pros: It was a cute story that was descriptive and interesting. There was a bit about the way vision works (rods and cones) that was educational. The story was fast paced and had a happy ending. I liked that her parents were loving, and supportive of her crazy mission.
Cons: I thought the plot was a little weak, like the book was talking down to the age group. There was a lot of buildup to her quest and then a disappointing climax as far as the interaction with the fae went. There were some plot holes in the story, dialogue, and with the parents.
I picked up Fairy Eyeglasses as a part of a free promotion as a possible future book for my 4-year-old daughter. Both the length and premise made me think this may be a good book for her.
I read Fairy Eyeglasses to sort of vet the material for my daughter and to see if I still believed she would like it. It is a great short read that I would recommend to anyone with a young girl. The imagery is vivid, and I genuinely caught myself wondering what was next. Some of the conversations, particularly with Cassie's parents, were a little unbelievable, but I wouldn't let that keep you from reading this one.
Fairy Eyeglasses is a fun, young adult quick read that unlock the imagination. It tells about a girl who discovers glasses that lets her see fairies. However, she is the only one who can. The story takes us on a trip leading up to the reason for the phenomenon and her assignment. My only issue with the book is that it shows little of the girl's background. We just meet her and her parents with absolutely nothing to help us have a mental picture of them. Nevertheless, I would like to read more stories in this series.
It was a real fun book to read and a fast one as well. Cassie the new girl is spending the night with some friends and she finds a pair of eyeglasses in the bathroom. She of course thinks they belong to someone else but for fun she decides to put them on and wonder of wonders she sees fairies!!
She asks all the girls if they left some glasses in the bathroom but only one girl used to wear glasses and says those aren’t hers.
It is a fun romp to try and communicate with the fairies and the experiences she has along the way.
Great little read!! Wish my glasses could see fairies!! Enjoy.
A little girl, Cassie, finds a pair of glasses at a sleepover. When she puts them on she discovers that fairies fly and live among her, but only she can see them. As she lets her family and friends know about her new discovery, she also uncovers why. This intriguing story is a great read for children beginning chapter books. I especially liked how Cassie interacts with her mom and dad. She went to them with her thoughts and problem -a great message to send to kids!
Fairy Eyeglasses is a short story about Cassie, a young girl, who finds a pair of Eyeglasses that let her see fairies. This was cute story for children. It is simple enough to be read independently or read aloud. I especially liked that the story shows Cassie's parents in a good light. They act like parents should. Setting rules to protect their child while still trusting her and supporting her.
I like the premise of fairies leaving objects to help people sense them. It makes sense that they would choose children as the ones to gain attention from first. I am curious about the other senses and how the kids can learn to control them. How would you deal with seeing fairies all the time, including when you might not want to. There must be a way to turn the ability off, at least temporarily.
Cute, funny, and creative. This book is a great read for something quick and whimsical. The story line was really well thought out. I enjoyed seeing life through Cassie's eyes. ;-)
This is an excellent series for the kids who enjoy reading. A touch of mystery and fairies. Set in a family situation which makes it even more believable. Each book has to do with a particular subject but keeps with a continuing story line.
