Synopsis:
It's not fair! Just as they were settling in at Pixie Hollow, Kate, Mia, Lainey, and Gabby have to go home!
Tinker Bell says no kids have ever come back to Never Land, but Lainey refuses to believe it. Will she never get to ride a deer through the woods again? And how can she learn the languages of animals away from the fairies?
Even when the girls leave Never Land, its magic seems to follow them. That mouse in Lainey's kitchen - she's sure it was one of the fairies' dairy mice! Is there some king of splinter between the worlds?


Our Thoughts:
 
Mia, Kate, Lainey, and Gabby returned home from Never Land at the end of In A Blink and are not too happy about it when they realize the bag of fairy dust the Queen gave them has disappeared. And so has the cat! Meanwhile, in Pixie Hollow, Fawn realizes that one of the dairy mice, Milkweed, is missing, and in her search for him finds a portal to the Clumsies' world!

This was a nice continuation of the story, giving the girls a connection between Never Land and their home, assuring that there will be many more stories ahead! The story is split between the four girls in our world and Fawn and Tinker Bell in Pixie Hollow as their worlds and stories collide once again.

My daughter is younger than the suggested ages but she requested I read longer books to her so we read a chapter (or a half) every night and still seem to fly through them. We currently don't have any more in this series but I'm already on the lookout so we can continue. My one complaint about this sequel is that so little actually happened other than giving them a door to a future story. It definitely wasn't a satisfying story on its own.
