This is an ….interesting addition to the Disney Fairies world. The concept of a steampunk fairy city on the mainland is intriguing, but this volume falls into the pit that so many series books do: too much world building, not enough plot. Plot should be balanced, and we should discover things more organically. Instead we’re treated to about 200 pages of “welcome to bleakwatch” and only about 50 pages of things actually happening. I might ultimately end up recommending this, but not until the series is completed.

A fin addition to the Fairy Hollow universe for a slightly older age group; llike the sass, like the illustrations, like the enby leader of the spunky rebel group. Looking forward to more in this universe.

As someone who was so sad when Tinker Bell’s movies stopped being made, this book made my soul so happy. It is like diving back into her world and no time has passed. The new fairies that are introduced are fun and dynamic and Tinker Bell as always allows her curiosity sore helping her solve a mystery. This is everything I could have wanted from this book and more. I hope that this is a series that might continue. As my daughter loves the movies, and I would love to bring her back to Pixie Hallow even if it is in book format.
Thank you so much to Disney Publishing and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this title.

Rather than a Pixie Hallow adventure, this one delves into new and exciting territory when Tink is pulled into a quest that takes her to a hidden city of pixies underneath London , Bleakwatch, and meets the Flutterpunks, a new group of friends. What ensures is part exciting mystery, part daunting thriller ( though still very innocent and enjoyable) with dark undertones of unknown threats to all the fairies of Bleakwatch. Great read for any Disney fan, fun and magic, very on tone for Tinkerbell as both an in-depth introduction to her character or just a new addition to your already growing collection of Pixies books. It will have you saying “ I do believe in fairies!” And filled with faith, trust, pixie dust and happy thoughts.

A fantastic take on an iconic character! Growing up I was utterly obsessed with the Tinker Bell IP and all her friends, and this book helped refuel my love. It has mystery, a new cast of rapscallion characters, and lots of heart. This book is sure to delight many middle grade readers and will be a fun addition to the shelves when it comes out.

I am all in for anything relating to Tinker Bell and the Neverland fairies! But wait - we aren't in Neverland anymore! A secret city of fairies living underneath London?!?! This was such a hook, and it did not disappoint! I love how Tink wants to help and fix things, and the new characters were so so fun!

Dreams do come true. This review is based on an ARC.

Let's just say inclusive fairies. Period. A modern twist on the Neverland fairies and Tinkerbell's identity outside of Peterpan. A few times I was taken back with her phrases because having read all the Tink books and having watched all the Tink movies I felt it wasn't totally something she'd say but everything else was on brand. It felt fresh and new and engaging for a young audience and approachable for an audience not well versed in her overall story.

An absolutely fabulous steampunk fairy adventure full of twists and turns, perfect for new and old fans of Tinker Bell! ✨️🧚‍♀️

(This new series takes place in the same world as the Tinker Bell movies, so there are plenty of Easter eggs and references to the films).

Tinker Bell travels to the Mainland to find the missing necklace of a mysterious fairy who crash-landed a flying machine on Neverland...

On the Mainland, she meets a band of scavenger fairies called the Flutterpunks, who take her to the hidden steampunk fairy city of Bleakwatch. Here, Tinker Bell discovers the failings of a world where pixie dust is scarce and fairies must take desperate measures to survive.

The Flutterpunks are a charming group of misfits with a delightful found family dynamic. They each had a fascinating past and we even got to read from their perspectives a few times! Of course, the clever and sarcastic leader Quin was my favorite ❤️

Tinker Bell and Quin argue a lot, but they also introduce each other to a completely different way of looking at the world, and empathy plays an enormous role in their relationship. Tinker Bell reconciles with her privilege, and Quin discovers putting others first - even if that person is strange and new.

My favorite part of reading this was all the new lore!! The Bleakwatch fairies are different than the Neverland fairies in some really fun ways, with a new culture, social structure, and economy. As mentioned previously, the entire economy of Bleakwatch is based off of scavenging and a limited supply of pixie dust, which results in a hilarious scene where Tinker Bell learns what it means to "buy" something. But also, we get a kid-friendly look at the consequences of a world where some have a lot, but most have a little.

We get plenty of lore but also plenty of adventure! Chases through Big Ben, crash landing a fairy helicopter, and even a high-stakes heist make the pages fly! We even get a makeover scene with Tinker Bell!

All in all, a fantastic read for any Disney Fairy fan. I can't wait to buy a copy!

As a millennial who spent time growing up in Pixie Hollow, it's exciting to see the Disney Fairies back at it in something new. I will say this def feels a little bit like it's trying to be popular with a specific type of age right now that may not translate as well later, but there's always gonna be more Disney stuff for people later on too.
