When Mab's teacher gives her a book all about Victorian fairies, she's surprised to see the drawings inside are nothing like the sweet fairies she imagined. Mabs does encompass the same trademark features of most JW protagonists, with her pale skin and mousy hair and skinny legs, but that's probably to do with her own childhood and insecurities. After all these years, Jacqueline Wilson still has the power to captivate readers with her wonderful, emotionally charged books. I adored the illustrations, they made the book come alive, flowing imagination out of the book like a fairy flying.

Having panic and stress portrayed in a child and the heavy weights she carries without processing that/being fully aware of what is happening is heartbreaking as it's something many real kids experience. I swore I wouldn't; that I was officially done after reading the crime against humanity, the abominable 'Opal Plumstead'. and definitely the kind of book I would have loved to read as a child, filled with fairy magic and history and all the heartache and family angst you'd expect from JW.

I kind of wish there was a mention, like a suggestion, of whether Mum was taking any kind of medication, any antidepressants, however.

This book is absolutely beautiful, the one we have is a hardback and it has a very Jacqueline Wilson cover with the illustrations. Their flat is full of fairy ornaments, tiny fairy furniture and they've even got fairy lights in the toilet. She reads it with her mum and her little brother Robin, and she’s surprised to see the drawings inside are nothing like the sweet fairies she imagined. Some character arcs where never resolved and some plot points felt a little shoved in with a "it's magic!In conclusion, as predictable as 'Project Fairy' is - to me, who is well versed in JW's formulas - and as silly and nonsensical as the kids' book is, I'm pleased I gave it a chance, and gave Jacqueline Wilson a second chance. I wish the situation involving Billie had a better resolution it seemed she was going to leave Cathy It was a lovely time over all. One of Jacqueline’s most successful and enduring creations has been the famous Tracy Beaker, who first appeared in 1991 in The Story of Tracy Beaker. But the biggest surprise of all is a tiny thing that tumbles out of the pages of the book… A magical, captivating story about fairies, families and friendship from the brilliant, award-winning Jacqueline Wilson. Plus there is her mother's fascination with fairies which really doesn't suit our tomboy protagonist.
