Synopsis:
The Disney Fairies star in a magical all-new early chapter book series for kids ages 6 to 10 -- The Never Girls!
The smell of saltwater, a gust of sea breeze, and the bell-like ringing of a fairy's laugh are the only hints that something magical is happening to Kate, Mia, Lainey, and Gabby. In a blink of an eye, the four friends are whisked out of their ordinary lives to the most wonderful place of all--Never Land, home to fairies, mermaids... and now four lost girls. The girls don't want to leave right away, but Queen Clarion and Tinker Bell have figured out a way for them to get home. Will Kate, Mia, Lainey, and Gabby's fantastic adventure end before it's barely begun?
Our Thoughts:
The perfect chapter book series for young readers that love Disney's Peter Pan and/or Tinkerbell!
In The Never Girls series, four girls have been magically whisked away to Never Land thanks to a fairy's 'blink'. The fairy, Prilla, didn't mean to blink the 'Clumsies' to Pixie Hollow but now that they are on the island the way home is too far. Queen Clarion sets Tinkerbell with the task of watching over the girls until they can find a way home for them and in the meantime, the girls explore and learn the ways of the fairies and have a lovely time as Lost Girls!

I read an abridged chapter book version of J.M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan' to my daughter over the summer and she adored it, as I had hoped. She already knew about Tinkerbell but didn't know much about Peter Pan or the pirates (because we didn't own the movie at the time) and now she knows the full story and we've since watched the cartoon, the live-action film, and even Hook, as well as all of the Tinkerbell films that are on Netflix. We found the first two books in The Never Girls series at a thrift store in perfect condition and dug right in knowing that they are about the fairies that live in Pixie Hollow!
My daughter is younger than the suggested ages but she requested that I read chapter books to her earlier this year so I have obliged and these 'early chapter books' are the perfect length and font size for us! Depending on how tired we are, we either split a chapter or read one whole chapter a night. They don't take long to get through so we're already looking to buy the rest of the series!
I love that this series continues the Peter Pan storyline of children being whisked away to the magical island of Never Land where fairies, mermaids, and even pirates live. This story is a little more innocent though and reminds me much more of the Tinkerbell movies than the rough-and-tumble adventures of Peter Pan. My daughter loved that one of the girls was a lot younger and that they all were able to fly like the fairies!
We're looking forward to continuing this wonderful series!
