A New York Times BestsellerThe Disney Fairies star in a magical all-new early chapter book series for kids ages 6 to 10-The Never Girls!Kate craves adventure and excitement.Mia loves dresses, roses, and anything beautiful.Lainey dreams of talking to animals.Gabby believes in fairies more than anyone.In a blink of an eye, these four best friends all get their biggest wish-they?re whisked off to Never Land, home to Tinker Bell and her fairy friends. The adventure of a lifetime is just beginning! But how will the Never Girls ever get home again?From BooklistYoung Kate McCrady, her friends Lainey and Mia, and Mia?s younger sister, Gabby, hear silvery bells, view flying flamingos, and feel an ocean breeze, and then they are magically whisked away-in a blink-to Pixie Hollow, Never Land?s home to fairies, including Tinker Bell. The fairies agree to transport the girls back home, but before that can occur, Kate sneaks away for a rendezvous with Vidia, a fast-flying fairy with a nasty agenda. As the book concludes, the girls (called ?Clumsies? by the fairies) are stuck in Never Land, happily awaiting further adventures. This new series builds on the popularity of existing fairies titles (including Thorpe?s Tink in a Fairy Fix, 2011) that promote the Disney version of Never Land. Each fairy has his or her own talent (Tinker Bell mends pots and pans, while Rain is in charge of weather), making the characters easy to remember. Short chapters, a large font, and plentiful black-and-white illustrations make this book accessible to beginning chapter-book readers. Recommended where demand for fairies is high.
