The Windvale Sprites: 1

Product Information

I can relate to thrill of finding new species as I'm a nature enthusiast and go on sorties for birding and herping frequently. Here a small boy goes on an adventure to find extremely elusive creatures. The ending of the nemesis was well executed and heart-warming. Wish there was aftermath to boys adventure after final chapter, like end-credit scenes in marvel movies. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments I enjoyed the little nods to the real world, with Michael Fish' meteorological blunder and nod to the Cottingley Fairies as it made the story feel all the more real.

Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - Windvale Sprites' is an old fashioned, yet timeless tale, in a contemporary setting - well told and well worth a read. There is also plenty to grab the mature reader's attention. Little jokes like the passing mention of a place called Cottingley (the famous early 20th-century faked fairy photos from the real Cottingley village even fooled Arthur Conan Doyle) and an oblique hint about Terry Jones' Lady Cottington's Pressed Fairy Book; the author's own remimiscences of The Great Storm of 1987 which devastated a huge swathe of southern Britain, and a grownup's natural curiosity as to how Asa will explain lying about going on a projected school trip. (Crook will sidestep the consequences of Asa's escapade by subsequently penning The Lost Journals of Benjamin Tooth, set two centuries before.)

Striker: Well, I didn't like the look of the cover either. I thought it was a fairy at first and I thought it looked like it had lots of long words inside and no pictures. So I was planning on striking the book out of the hand of anyone who tried to read it to me, or give it to me. But then, when I heard the story, I changed my mind. This is my favourite book ever (since the last one that was my favourite). I loved everything about it and I want to give it a sky full of stars because it was so brilliant.

Home > The boy in the book is like Jane Goodall because he cares about animals. I think many children aged nine to twelve should read this book because they would enjoy it and it has parallels to the real world. A creature that looks very like a fairy. Do fairies really exist? Asa embarks on a mission to find out. A mission that leads him to the lost journals of local eccentric Benjamin Tooth who, two hundred years earlier, claimed to have discovered the existence of fairies. What Asa reads in those journals takes him on a secret trip to Windvale Moor, where he discovers much more than he'd hoped to... About This Edition ISBN: Mad Scientist: Why do scientists always get a bad press? Why is Asa the hero? Why not Benjamin Tooth the alchemist? Just once, I'd like to read a book where a scientist doesn't make a mistake and cause a plague, or breed a herd of man eating dinosaurs, or blow the world up. Just once, I'd like the scientist to be the hero and save the day. Just the other day, for example, I was on a beach and spotted a venomous snake. But because I was a scientist, I was able to identify the snake and alert everyone. Just think, if I hadn't been there...A charming, finely produced little treasure, told with clarity, wit and lightness -- Nicolette Jones Sunday Times See Faber authors in conversation and hear readings from their work at Faber Members events, literary festivals and at book shops across the UK.
