Review: I love this series it’s honestly so precious and adorable, I love the characters and the sweet magical world. This time Aziza finds herself troubled for what to do for her brothers party and is then swept into Peri’s birthday party where guests and presents are missing and she, Tiko and Peri spend the whole time trying to find the gifts.
I loved how simple the mystery was in this one with it being a general case of something missing, I loved that we got to explore the palace that Peri lives in and we got to meet some new interesting characters along the journey. It was a really maxing addition to the series.
It had sweet lessons within the book which is so sweet, how to help people with their troubles, how to forgive, how to have confidence in oneself and build confidence in others and how to be a great friend, I loved that.
I also really enjoyed the illustrations again they are always so pretty and perfect, I also loved the additional information about the creatures, the characters names and the mythology behind them, what an amazing addition to the have extra facts to learn.
I really love this series and this book, they are perfect for young children that want a really easy and fun escape they will be transported into the secret fairy world of Shimmerton and will be wanting the next ones in the series quickly.
