Project Fairy: Discover a brand new magical adventure from Jacqueline Wilson

Product Information

Mab deals with bullies at school and a family still recovering from the shock exit of her father which lead to her mother's breakdown.

Jacqueline is also a great reader, and has amassed over 20,000 books, along with her famous collection of silver rings. JW's books have become so much more sensitive over the years, thinking from a different perspective to the books which perhaps most readers my age might remember. My favourite part of this book, as similar to her other books, the last quarter of the book is the best part, the story starts to wrap up neatly, and even though everything isn't perfect, that's OK. Their flat is packed with fairy ornaments, tiny fairy furniture and they've even got fairy lights in the toilet. As I've got older, I've understood a lot more about the adults/parents, with their struggles, such as protecting their families, financial worries, mental health and general well-being.At those times, the care system stoops in to look after the siblings, with her mother's recovery their main priority. As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children's Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children's Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame. Their flat is full of fairy ornaments, tiny fairy furniture and they’ve even got fairy lights in the toilet.

So when Mab's teacher gives her a book all about Victorian fairies, she's excited to take it home and share it with mum and little Robin. I kind of wish there was a mention, like a suggestion, of whether Mum was taking any kind of medication, any antidepressants, however. At least there is no sign of any abusive parent apologist BS that unfortunately plagues quite a lot of JW's books - 'The Illustrated Mum', 'Lily Alone', 'Secrets', 'The Diamond Girls', 'Love Lessons', 'The Suitcase Kid', 'Best Friends', 'The Bed and Breakfast Star', 'Little Darlings', and of course 'Opal Plumstead' (I'm still seething) - which I'm sure is unintentional, it's just something I've noticed.Inconsciemment la d*pression, l’abandon d’un parent, l’acceptation d’une famille recomposée, l’h*rcèlement scolaire sont traités. Biography: Jacqueline Wilson wrote her first novel when she was nine years old, and she has been writing ever since. I think the fairies, who are not so sweet and saccharine like you see in other children's media, are intended to be real in 'Project Fairy'.

As an adult, it only took me a couple hours to complete this book, but it has resparked my love for her books and I rushed today to borrow all of her teenage fiction that was available at my library.Not sure if it was just because it was a different style, with the move into fantasy, but it seemed less emotionally in depth and without the same really engaging world building I love with J. On nous parle de fées dans le résumé, j’attendais vraiment plus de magie dans l’histoire, dommage car ça aurait rajouté un peu de paillettes à l’intrigue. Without spoiling the plot, he doesn't serve as some fairytale prince coming to whisk Mabs' mum off her feet, but for what he is. Except maybe for Mab's teacher Mrs Horsely, who is only described as old, but the illustration of her is plump and bulky, too.
