    About this ebook

    What happens when six creative girls accidentally open a Secret Door to a Magical Realm? It doesn't take long for adventure -- and danger -- to find them! Upon arriving in the Realm, eleven-year-old Shaylee and her friends learn they are the long-awaited princesses of the Six Kingdoms, and each girl has a unique magical power tied to her creative talents. But the kingdoms are in ruin thanks to an evil force that has drained nearly all of the power from the Wellspring of Magic. As if that wasn't bad enough, the door between the real world and the Realm is stuck! It can't be opened again -- and the girls can't go home -- until the magic is restored to the Wellspring. Shaylee and her friends must work together using their creative abilities, such as dancing, painting, and beading, to channel powers they never knew they had and fight the dark forces threatening to destroy the Realm. Their adventure will bring them face-to-face with gigantic grizzly bears claiming to be their protectors, green-skinned fairy folks, a scaly river dragon, vampire spiders, and killer plants -- things none of the girls expected to face during their summer break. Can they master their new powers in time to turn back the dark forces that want to trap them in the Realm forever? The Creative Girls Enchanted Adventures series is an irresistible mix of crafts, magic, humor, and adventure that will have girls hooked on reading!

      Seems to be geared to preteen girls, with its theme of ordinary girls being called Princess in the alternate world they explore. They each discover their special talent that will be needed to restore magic and life energy to the people of this world (and to return home themselves).I picked this up originally thinking to give it to my granddaughter, but after reading it decide not.
    • 3/5
      Too young for me. A cute portal-and-quest adventure, with six different protagonists all of whom are necessary to the solution. Mildly interesting to read once, not worth rereading (again, for me). It starts awkwardly, with introductions "written" by each girl - which shortcuts any real character development or relationships.

    Wellspring of Magic - Jan Fields

    Alysa Cohen

    Hello. My name is Alysa, but everyone calls me Aly. I have an identical twin sister, Rachel. It’s funny to think of Rachel as my identical twin because we don’t have much in common. She’s always racing to do something, while I like to take my time and think things through. I tell Rachel that she uses so many more bandages than I do because she’s always in a rush. I love plants and painting because plants and paintings rarely move, while she prefers animals because they’re always on the move, just like her. I spend a lot of time painting plants—you should see the mural I just started painting on my bedroom wall. It’s going to be a painting of the most fantastic, magical garden you’ve ever seen!

    I like the idea of gardens being magic. Mom and I are going to plant a garden in our backyard, and I want to make it the kind of garden where you can imagine fairies hiding in the flowers. Wouldn’t that be beautiful? I know I’m probably going to have to do a lot of the work in the garden, but I don’t mind. My mom says she’s planning to be home more now that we’ve moved out of the city, but I’m not holding my breath. She loves being a lawyer, and I figure she’ll be back to a crazy schedule before long.

    My dad is a teacher and a great one at that. It didn’t take long for him to snag a job at the high school here. So we’re already getting settled in.

    Rachel and I have met all the girls in the neighborhood, and we like them a lot. We get together in this little old building in the middle of the park that’s at the center of our neighborhood. The park is very overgrown and totally magical looking with lots of ivy-covered statues. Dad said something about getting folks together to clean up the park, but I like it so full of wild vines and flowers. I just love flowers and plants—even my club token has a flowering vine on it. So, that’s me, Aly the Magical Flower Girl!

    Rachel Cohen

    Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’m wild about animals, especially bears. When we lived in New York, I had to share a room with my twin sister, Aly. She’s really not into animals, and sometimes we thought we were going to go nuts sharing the same room. Lucky for us, we moved out of that dinky apartment in the city, and snap!—did everything change! Now I have my own room, so I’m going to go animal crazy with the decor. My dad said I can even paint leopard spots all over my dresser if I want to. I’m not really an artist like Aly, but I love animal craft projects so I can definitely turn my room into a wildlife sanctuary.

    Our new house here in Connecticut is huge and sometimes a little spooky, but Dad says he’ll work out the creaks and moans a little at a time. My dad loves a good DIY project, and I don’t mind swinging a hammer sometimes. Aly and Mom have already scoped out the yard for a major gardening project. I just hope they leave it wild enough to attract some animals. I saw a deer standing in the backyard on the night we moved in—you don’t see that in the city!

    One of the coolest things about our new neighborhood is that all the houses in the neighborhood have girls my age living in them—isn’t that cool? So, Aly and I not only have new friends, we’ve even got a clubhouse where we hang out and make things. All the girls are super creative. We even have club symbols! They came in the mail—and it was a big mystery. They’re little metal triangles engraved with our favorite things. Mine has a bear on it, which is just one more reason to believe that this place is going to be totally perfect for us.

    Marisol Marquez

    Do you like jewelry? If so, we should hang out together because I love jewelry. That’s what I mostly make at the clubhouse with the other girls. Oh wait, I’m not doing this right so let me start again. Hi! I’m Marisol and my family just moved to Portal, Connecticut, where weird things happen. Not creepy weird, though. Everything is totally wonderful—but definitely unusual. The best part is having five new friends really fast—and that isn’t weird at all. Moving hasn’t been so bad because of that.

    Do you believe in magic? I didn’t until recently, though I liked thinking about it. Now I totally do, and I love it! So, I love jewelry and magic and swimming. I’m a great swimmer. Like a fish—oh, that’s really funny because my club token has a river dragon on it. What’s a river dragon? you ask? You’ll find out soon enough.

    But, um, where was I? Oh right, we just moved to Portal from Florida, and now we live in this really big, old house. I like it, though I kind of miss the beach, but my mom says we can put in a pool as soon as the twins are a little older. We adopted twin babies from China—isn’t that the absolute coolest? They’re two now so I’ll have to wait awhile on the pool because pools are not the safest thing to have with toddlers around.

    So, my family is me and my little brother and sister, and my parents. My dad is a chef at this really fancy restaurant in Hartford. That means we eat some strange things sometimes, but that can be interesting too. Before we moved, my mom worked in an insurance office but she stays home with us now. She says that having two-year-old twins is work enough.

    Kaida Jordan

    Hi, I’m Kaida, and I’m almost thirteen so I’m the oldest member of our new club. I’m a little old for the whole let’s form a club thing, but I really like hanging out with the girls in the neighborhood. Sometimes I feel like an older sister to the other girls, but that’s totally cool. Another thing that’s totally cool is the small building in the middle of the park. After we started our club, we kind of took over the building and made it our clubhouse.

    We do crafts in the clubhouse. I really like crafts, which is kind of surprising because I’m not real big on just sitting around. I do like to try new things, so I’ve learned how to do a lot of different crafts. I’m thinking of doing some kind of craft using the picture from my club token—it’s a winged unicorn, and it’s totally awesome. Anyway, I guess I get my creativity from my mom. She makes really gorgeous pottery using traditional Korean designs and techniques.

    My
