My Rating: ★★★★
So the blurb for this book (taken from Goodreads) is:
Mischievous woodland fairy Nix is up to no good. His beloved fairy queen has gone away, leaving him with a very important job. He must protect the forest from a most dangerous enemy - humans.
When a determined invader trespasses on his territory, Nix’s skills are put to the test as he invents several wicked tricks to chase the sorry fellow away. But when his efforts don’t go quite according to plan, it becomes clear that this intruder—and this sprite—may not be at all what they seem.
I quite enjoyed this book and I'm a big fan of faerie stories, but all the ones I've previously come across have been YA or adult. So when I saw this book on Netgalley, and saw that it was middle grade, I had to request it, and was so pleased when I was accepted for a copy. I personally would have quite liked a longer story, I felt there could have been so much more actual story and it was a little rushed - it actually only took me about 40 minutes to read the whole book. It was very easy to read and I loved the main character Nix, I would definitely get this book for my nephews and recommend it to others; children and adults.
