I absolutely love Nixie, a funny little fairy with attitude. This is a stylishly told, delightful story for girls just starting to tackle chapter books - or a brilliant bedtime story to be read aloud. * Jacqueline Wilson * Children who love books about mischievous characters will love this - so perfect for Horrid Henry or Angela Nicely fans. * Amazon reviewer * Nixie is a fairy with attitude! * Waterstones reviewer * Nixie is the coolest fairy ever, although I would not like to have her wand. * Caitlin, age 7, for lovereading4kids.co.uk * I really like Nixie because she gets into lots of trouble which makes me laugh. * Darcey, age 7, for lovereading4kids.co.uk * A refreshing new slant on the wonderful world of fairies * The Lancashire Evening Post *More details
