Charlie’s review
I like this I hope other people like it too. So I like that there was two fairies cause it’s hard every time there’s two things you’re trying to stop.

88 pgs. Violent and her cousin Leon notice things are a bit strange when all the topys their friend Brittany receives for her birthday have something wrong with them. They discover Russella is to blame. Later Fixit shows up angry becuase no one ever thanks him for his help and restored toys. Fun fantasy and adventure await the reader who is enjoying this series. Highly recommended for Grades 3-5.

This one made my kid laugh super hard and warmed her heart. It was fun to read together. Realizing that West hasn’t republished the whole series but only up to this book is super disappointing. I hope she will do the other 3 books sometime soon!

This series never gets old. And even as an adult, I'm still mesmerised by the sparkling sticker page. Childhood is being reborn. And of all the escape pixies, Fixit is probably my favourite.

Pixies are on the loose and Sprite, a Royal Pixie Catcher, has enlisted Violet's help to catch the errant fairies, elves, etc that are loose.
This book is very silly. It's kind of magical realism, because ridiculous unexplainable things happen due to fairy magic and no one in the book really questions it. But your kid probably didn't pick up a book called "the Angry Elf" and expect something realistic! The mishaps in the book would make a kid giggle: toys that bounce around and make a mess in the cafeteria, everyone doing the wrong homework, and applesauce stew!
Not my cup of tea, but I'm also not the target audience. And it is mildly entertaining watching the chaos ensue.

For what it is, this book is great. As an adult I'm obviously not going to get the same enjoyment out of these books as my nieces and nephews, but these books were instrumental in my childhood.
The pixies in the story were fun and had distinct personalities, and the last tricking in the book was a mini-lesson on empathy and kindness. Altogether very sweet and I would recommend it highly.
