Review: Pixieland Diaries

Pixieland Diaries by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Calla is a faeling.  She was born to human parents who spent a great deal of time near ley lines and the result was a fairy child.  She has been raised by Poppa and Muti and they hope she will one day become a regular fae.  There aren’t many faelings.  The only other faeling lived for 1,000’s of years and recently died.  Faelings are known for their soft hearts, so Calla has to fake her evil and she does this with constant pranks.  After a prank gone wrong gets her banished into the ley lines, Calla quickly learns that she must figure out another way to live in Faerie.  What will Calla learn about herself during this quest?

Pixieland Diaries is the first book in the Pixieland Diaries series.  Bauer has created a story that is more in the relaxed and fun beach read genre than a high fantasy, yet I found myself enjoying the antics of Calla as she went on her quest of self-discovery.  Calla may be a troublesome young faeling at the start of this diary, but readers will see her mature as she faces many hard facts about herself and those she loves.  I enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the second book (Calla) to be released in July 2020.
