Another puzzle occurs for the girls who are
discovering 'Fairy Senses' in this series for young
readers. So far the senses like hearing and sight have been
awarded to different girls and one boy in order that they
can see or hear fairies, unlike everyone else. What the
fairies want is not so easy to determine. Each girl has to
solve a puzzle to learn how to use her new sense. A FAIRY
ICEPACK is the means of conveying a sense of temperature to
young Viola.
Having failed to clean up her room, Viola has a really
messy life. Actually it's messy in more than one way,
because her different sets of friends don't get on any
more, while she doesn't have good communications with her
parents. All this comes to the fore when she sprains her
ankle on scattered toys. Viola's mom puts an icepack on the
ankle and that is when the girl starts to feel the warmth
of a tiny fairy passing through her body. But the gifts and
puzzles are not all pleasant, and too much heat - or cold -
can be harmful. As Viola is about to discover.
Emily Martha Sorensen has really got into her stride with
these enjoyable stories and the only downside is that by
this time a new reader would feel a bit lost. I recommend
starting earlier in the series although you don't need to
read all the books in order - but you'll probably want to!
FAIRY ICEPACK is book number eight and each one explores a
real life problem or two as well as the ongoing drama of
the secret senses.
