My Thoughts

Maddie learns a great lesson in Maddie's World.

Maddie had lost so much confidence in herself after being bullied by a girl at school that when she came home from school she just wanted to hide in her room.  Her sisters Lexie and Bella tried to cheer her up by bringing in a large cardboard box in her room to play with.  As they enter the box they found themselves in Maddie's World in the middle of a Fairy war.  Maddie was so frightened but knew she should try and protect her sisters.

They were captured by the fairies and sent to a dungeon by the Fairy Queen. The fairies had turned into bullies this was not how Maddie had seen her world.   But this was Maddie's World so there must be some quest she is required to preform in order to stop the Fairy war.

What could Maddie's do?  She was not brave like her sisters had been in their worlds.  Would they be able escape from the dungeon?    Would the fairies every stop fighting and bulling each other?  

Not only does Maddie learn to have confidence in herself she also becomes a hero to Maddie's World and is awarded for her bravery.  Sometimes we let fear take over in situations.  But like the old saying goes.  "There is nothing to fear but fear itself."  Yes we must be cautious with bullies. A little kindness can sometimes be helpful.  If not, then it is time to talk to your parents or your teacher about the bully.

The author continues to teach our children valuable lesson in the stories she writes.  The illustrations again works well with the author's story and makes it explode off the pages to stir the imagination of the child.

I not only recommend this book but the whole series.

I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
