Review of Pixylations
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Pixylations" by Joe Laudati.]
We all have a creative side to our imagination that runs wild. As children, we are told many fascinating stories about faeries, goblins, and other creatures, some of which we also learned about from movies. Joe Laudati's novel Pixylations: A Fairy's Tale takes us on a journey into the realm of fairies.
Faela is a pixie but unique as she is blue, and she goes ahead to color flowers in her unique style, but the other pixies felt this was abnormal. Despite her unique features, she was wild, and she had a close friend, Scuff, who was a gnome and always warned her about her ways of mischief. She wanted to know what it would feel like not to be a fairy, and she always caused mischief among the big folks because she wanted to be noticed. She was reported to the High King Faerie by other faeries. While fleeing from Pooka in the Haunted Hills, the Horn of Auberon pursued her, and she was about to be banished for breaking the laws of the faerie kingdom. Still, the High King Auberon allowed her to redeem herself, which you will learn about by reading this book titled Pixylations.
Pixylations is an exciting book, and every aspect, starting with its title, is unique. I enjoyed Joe's creative approach in this book, and I must commend the beautiful illustrations, as I could flow with the book and had good visuals of various characters. I liked reading about some types of flowers mentioned in this book, starting with marigolds, pansies, and many more. We are also introduced to pixies, tinkers, goblins, and many more, making this book engaging. I liked how pixylating was explained, and I loved how the shape-shifting of the character Pooka was expressed in this book. I liked the character Faela the most because she played a helpful role in moving the plot forward despite her zeal for mischief and being different.
If there is anything to be improved in this book, it would be the way characters were introduced too fast, as I believe it would be difficult for younger children to keep track of, and considering my likes listed above, I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I encountered a few errors while reading this book, which shows it was professionally edited. I recommend this book to teenagers aged 13 and above.
