The Triskaidek by Basil Sprig (Book 1)
Book Description
Strange things started happening to Alley on her thirteenth
day of the thirteenth of her thirteenth year. She’d been planning this day a
long time but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine anything like this.
In fact things have gotten so strange the only way she can explain it is
magic..
Alley not only finds herself a part of a magical world. But
if that isn’t crazy enough, she’s actually a fairy! She’s been given a mission
by a magical creature who could tell her nothing what so ever about it. Not
only does she have to discover the power within herself to solve the mystery
and she a magical creature from destruction, but she has to figure out who is
friend and who is foe in the world of fairies where some use of their magic is
to help others, and some want to use their magic to take over the world. Can
she figure it all out before it’s too late?

Review
What an awesome book for kids around 12 and up who want to
get into the fantasy paranormal genre. The
Triskaidek was well written, there is mystery, magic and action. I can’t wait
for my kids to be old enough to read this book.
Basil Sprig makes the world of the fae fun, interesting and inviting to
kids of all ages. I enjoyed reading it and I can’t wait to see what’s in store
for Alley next! I think the only thing I was not so sure about was the use of
the word thirteenth so much in the beginning of the book.
Alley I loved her, she is sweet, caring, independent and a
little stubborn. She enters camp fae not knowing she is a fairy on a mission
from a special magical creature. She needs to find a way to save this little
blue crab and figure out who she can trust along the way. Not every fairy uses their magic for good and appearances
can be deceiving…
The Pixitres By Basil Sprig (Book 2)
Book Description
As the fairies of Camp Fae investigate the disappearance of
one of Alley Willowwoods’s closest friends, they discover that the entire magical
world is on the brink of war. Someone is stirring up the pixie tribes not only ageist
one another, but ageist the fairies.
Join Alley as she tries to find her friend and uncover the
true villain behind it all in an adventure that takes her across several
continents, deep under the sea, and to the other end of our solar system. Alley
confronts kidnapping pixie tribes, dragons, and a demonic beast from the underworld
and more importantly her own fears as she tries to solve the mystery. Who are
these mysterious new strangers that have appeared at Camp Fae and what their
intentions are. Who has kidnapped her friend and why? And worst of all, what is
she going to do now that she’s inadvertently made an oath of allegiance to one
of the pixie queens and quite possibly given her the ultimate magical weapon?

Review
I really enjoyed book 1 in the Camp fae series but I have to
say this one has to be my favorite so far. There’s something happing right from the very beginning
of the book with Goss calling a meeting
and telling Alley her close friend is missing, being kidnapped my pixies and
Alley’s not even at camp yet shoot it’s not even spring break its winter still.
That’s not all that’s going to happen to Alley.. But I won’t say too much I
want you to read it for yourself!
In this journey Alley and her friends pretty much act alone
in this book and not tell Goss or the other older Camp fae councilors. I have
to say my favorite part was the dragons! I really got into this 2nd
book a lot, I loved the twists and turns also Alley and her friends. Again it’s
well written the plot is great and perfect for kids 12 and up. I’d defiantly recommend
it to my niece to read or even an adult if you like the fantasy Ya genre.
