Book Reviews of The Fairy Rebel
Book Review: An Enchanting Read for All Ages
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read "The Fairy Rebel" when I was eight, and loved every minute of it. Lynne Reid Banks uses both fantasy and reality to create a beautiful modern-day fairy tale.
The premise of this novel concerns Jan, a former actress, who has become disabled and can no longer pursue her career. She lives with her husband, Charlie, and is greatly distressed because she cannot conceive a child. She accidentally becomes acquainted with a fairy, Tikki, who lands on her foot while Jan is in her garden. Though they are at first justifiably terrified, Jan and Tikki become acquainted, and Jan voices her desire to have a child. Tikki immediately sets upon a quest to fulfill Jan's desire, but as a result faces the terrifying wrath of The Fairy Queen, who is already angry at Tikki for defying her rule of not wearing jeans.
The story progresses, growing suspenseful with every turn of the page. All of the characters, particularly Tikki and her male elf companion Wijic, are truly delightful. This book is a moral tale about the courage of nonconformity to an unjust society, and the power of friendship. This book is a must-read for all ages. Happy reading!
