Alice and Max are back for another enchanting adventure in the world of pixies and fairies! But this isn’t just a tale of magic and mischief – it’s a story about friendship, loyalty, and the importance of standing up for what’s right.

In a world where fairies are snobby and disdainful toward their magical brethren, the pixies, authors Charlotte Colwill and Dave Lowe use this second installment of the series as a safe and engaging story to help little minds grasp complex concepts like discrimination and prejudice.

When Bran, one of the pixies, challenges the fairies to allow ponies to compete in the unicorn show jumping tournament, he faces more than just a high-stakes competition. Proving that ponies are just as capable as unicorns isn’t just about winning – it’s about fighting for fairness. And if the pixies lose? They risk losing their home forever.

With Alice and Max by their side, the pixies must overcome magical obstacles, unfair rules, and sneaky fairy tricks. This heartwarming adventure is packed with fun, humor, and a powerful message, helping young readers recognise unfairness, appreciate differences, face their fears, and spread kindness. – Mariclair Smit 3/5 stars
