    About this ebook

    Tamisin has always been a little weird. Her freckles actually look more like sparkles and occasionally, she likes to dance under the full moon. Then one day, wings sprout from her back, and Tamisin learns that her parents adopted her from fairyland. Inspired by A Midsummer Night's Dream, this fairy tale will delight fans of The Tales of the Frog Princess and new readers alike.

      The beginning and the ending were a bit weak with a few too many issues ignored or glossed over for my taste. The rest of the story was pretty good, though; and the kids and I enjoyed reading it together.

      Enjoyable story. Poor Tamisin. As if she doesn't have enough difficulties, wings spout from her back and then goblins kidnap her and take her to the realm of the fey where she is to be used against her mother, Titania, Queen of teh Faeries. Titania had a fling with a mortal bespelled to resemble a goblin and when Titania gave birth, she was persuaded by her lady-in-waiting, Lurinda, to send the child away to the human world so that it could not cause scandal and poltical difficulties. Titania does so, but comes to regret that she had to and takes it out on Lurinda. Then Lurinda, who by now loathes Titania and wants to rule the Fey in her stead, orchestrates an elaborate plan to lure Tamisin back to her birthplace so she can be used as leverage against Titania. Jak, a halfling of the Cat Goblin clan is sent to bring the girl back, but he falls in love with her and so, by story's end, Titania is still in control, but working out the problems with the goblins, Lurinda's escaped and Jak and Tamisin are on their way back to the human world. Still hate Titania. She comes across as a selfish, callous witch. And it feels like a sequel is on the way... I mean, Lurinda is still on the loose, with the power to open a faerie gate anywhere, anytime. Tamisin will "have" to return to Titania someday...Oh, and my favorite scenes were with Lamia Lou and Herbert the Unicorn!

      I loved this book so much that I checked it out of the library every time I could find it (it was so popular it was almost always out!) until I got my own copy, but after buying it I decided that I didn't like it as much as before because I'd over-read it!
    • 4/5
      Great read, creative story.
