This is the third graphic novel about Cici, a young girl who also happens to be a fairy. Her Abuela, who is also a fairy, is trying to teach her about her powers and skills she has and will obtain as a fairy. When her father takes her, her sister and best friend on their annual camping trip, Cici has everything planned. Unfortunately, things do not work out as planned. It rains, their campsite is not reserved so they are not near the lake, they get lost on a hike and they can't swim because there are no lifeguards. When she meets a creature in the woods who wants to be her friend, she is annoyed and afraid. She does not give him a chance to show her that surprises and unexpected happenings can be good. She eventually realizes that everyone else is having a good time and that she needs to lighten up and enjoy herself. When she tells Abuela what happened, she learns that it was a Wood Sprite that she met and that he was just trying to teach her to enjoy surprises and be open to the world around her. The graphics are fun, colourful and easy to see detail, perfect for younger readers.

This is a great book for early readers (gr. 2 - 4), especially girls. A good addition to a school or classroom library.

This is a great series that is a bit of a first chapter book and graphic novel together. It will definitely find a large appeal with the K-2nd crowd especially those that enjoy reading about fairies (cough, Daisy Meadows fans, cough).
