Short
Summary of the book:
Four young girls and their male friends
discover they are no normal teenagers when they attend high school. Soon they
have to go to a different world and a different school. The book and characters
are very similar to Winx Club.
What
I liked about the book:
This book is very suitable for pre-teen girls
with mostly appropriate language for this group.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
For me, the book was too similar to Winx Club
and appeared to be roughly based on this. Also, there were several grammatical errors
in the book. Not quite what I would like to expose my children to.
My
favourite bits in the book:
The book was okay mostly. It appeared to have
been written for a young relative of the author. One who most likely is a
strong fan of Winx Club.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
The bits where the grammatical errors were
distracting from the story.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
I believe there already is a second book in
this series.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This
book appears to be a retelling of the children’s cartoon series Winx Club.
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Description by Author:
Are you a fan of magical girls like Sailor Scouts, Winx
Club, and the fierce ghouls from Monster High? If yes, then it's time to meet
the Fairy Squad Princesses! Follow the lives of Serena, Crystal, Ivy, and
Kristy as they go from being normal high school girls to butt-kicking defenders
of the Magic Dimension. Of course, not without the help of their handsome guy
friends the Conquerors. In the first part of this five-part series, the teens
will face off with four malevolent witches who call themselves the Vortex.
Alongside their two tagalongs: a spiky-haired warlock and a big green smelly
ogre. The teens will have to leave the world they knew behind and dive into a
world filled with magic, mystery, energy-devouring monsters, and epic battles.
You've heard of "saving the world before bedtime." Well, this is
saving the world before shopping time. With magic comes great responsibility.
About
the Author:
I was born January 9th, 1994. I was born, raised, and live
in Los Angeles, CA. From the young age of five, I have always had a passion for
drawing and writing stories. My love for cartoons/animes like Scooby-Doo,
Sailor Moon, Winx Club, and the original Dragon Ball Z helped me discover the
type of writer I wanted to become. It wasn’t until my sophomore year in high
school at Westchester Senior High where I discovered my love for painting. Back
in June 2017 I graduated from Los Angeles Southwest College and was on the
Dean’s List. I have an Associate of Arts, Associate in Arts for Transfer
(AA-T), and a Certificate in Arts. Since I had an entire year off before I
attend a university I was finally able to focus on releasing my debut modern
fantasy self-published book, “The Fairy Squad Princesses: A Magical Awakening.”
This book is the first of a five-part magical series. Even though, it hasn’t
hit bestseller yet and probably won’t anytime soon just being able to read the
reviews from the wonderful readers that have read the book puts on a smile on
my face. I am currently attending California State University Long Beach
continuing to learn how to improve my artwork. When I graduate I would love to
be able to work with a team of amazing of writers and animators to help
transform not just this series but my other books into television shows and
animated movies.
