This was such a sweet book! I never really read about fairies in a children story. It was a fast read and it's fun and way to sweet. I could learn from Blue bell the fairy. This story is a must read for chikdren. They would love it and find it delightful. I cannot wait to see if Blubell has more fun adventures.

What a cute story! Bluebell is new at giving wishes, has a few bumps along the way, but does get the hang of it.
My 3rd grader read this book and really liked the fun characters and the theme of helping others. One thing she would have liked in the story was bigger problems for Bluebell to solve than what was presented in the book.
There were some basic pictures throughout, but this book was really aimed at middle elementary aged kids, so thatis appropriate. The reading level was perfect for the 8-10 year old range.
Overall, the book was filled with fairy fun!

So, I have been reading many fantasy children’s books over the years and I have read many children’s books that feature fairies in the stories. However, I have never read a book quite like this one! “Bluebell: The Wish Fairy” is a children’s book that is written by P.J. Reed, along with illustrations by Emma Gribble and it was quite a lovely book to read through!
The story starts off with a fairy named Bluebell who becomes the new wish fairy and she is trying not to mess up on the first day of her new job. For her first mission, Bluebell will have to travel to the human world to grant wishes of little boys and girls. But unfortunately, since Bluebell has a tendency to be clumsy, many citizens in Therwen Wood do not believe that she has what it takes to become the wish fairy.
Can Bluebell prove everyone wrong?
Find out in this book!
So, I was quite surprised to be checking out this book since this is the first time that I have heard about this series. So, I read the first book in the series and I really enjoyed it! P.J. Reed did a fantastic job at writing this story as I found myself loving Bluebell as a character. Bluebell is such a relatable character, even though she is a fairy, because she tends to make a lot of mistakes, but always pulls through in the end, just like how so many people in real life tend to do. I also loved how the situation about the fairies trying to grant children’s wishes is being seen as a job for the fairies, which makes how everything in this world function much more interesting. Emma Gribble’s illustrations are truly beautiful to look at as the world and the characters look realistic yet beautiful at the same time. I especially loved the artwork for when Bluebell accidentally made a mistake by bringing in a dragon to a little boy and you can see the dragon blowing its flames towards the little boy, since it is something that I would have never expected to see in a children’s book about fairies.
Overall, “Bluebell: The Wish Fairy” is truly a fun and cute book that anyone who is a fan of fairies should definitely check out! I would recommend this book to children ages five and up since there is not much frightening content in this book.

Bluebell is the new fairy whose job is to grant wishes to human children. Like all newbies, she makes mistakes, one after the other, but her perseverance and the will to help others help her do her job.
Funny, well-written, and enjoyable story.

I really enjoyed this adorable fairy story. It brought a whole new world of magic alive with imps, gnomes, and fairies going about their magical business. I particularly loved the gentle humour which is sprinkled throughout this adventure.
