The Trouble With Tink (Disney Fairies)

I love Tinker Bell and was so excited to read this story! I finished it, loved it, and I can't wait to read the next book.

Got this book so cheap how could it not be worth it?

Got it on time. Good quality. Solid

When the movie Tinker Bell was being release I was so excited because I thought it might be a prequel starring Tinker Bell meeting Peter Pan or something. When the series ending with Legend of the Neverbeast I was incredibly disappointed that Peter had absolutely no part in Tinker Bell’s world. After I found out that Peter Pan was going to be in this book, I immediately purchased it. My excitement on Peter Pan finally being a part of the Disney Fairy universe was at an all time high and I couldn’t wait to read this book!This story takes place after the events of Peter Pan. It wasn’t really a prequel or anything and Peter isn’t the focus (not that I expected him to be), but I loved it nonetheless. Basically what happens in the book is Tinker Bell loses her tinkering hammer and she can’t correctly fix anything without it. Her hammer was made with very special material that isn’t common to come by in the fairy world. Tink does have a small secret though: she actually has a space. The only problem? It’s at Peter Pan’s hideout, and he and Tink aren’t exactly on speaking terms anymore. After Peter brought Wendy to Neverland, Tink left Peter and they haven’t seen each other since. Even though getting that spare hammer would save Tink a lot of trouble, she can’t muster enough courage to go see her former friend.No one else on the whole island of Neverland (excluding Peter Pan, the lost boys, and the all-knowing Mother Dove of the island) know about the past between Tink and Peter. For Tinker Bell, Peter Pan is her little secret and I love it! When I was reading I felt like the way that Tinker Bell and Peter were portrayed was as former lovers, which I got a kick out of. Seeing as this is a book aimed for children, I think the tone was unintended, but nonetheless I felt it there! Throughout the story, everywhere that Tinker Bell goes she is reminded of Peter and what was. It was such a delight to see Tink remember Peter so fondly (in a totally platonic way). In fact, I was so drawn in by the friendship that these two used to have that I was kinda disappointed that Tink didn’t want to stay with Peter. Tink said she belonged in Pixie Hollow fixing pots and pans, but I think that she belongs with Peter going on adventures.Enough about Peter and Tink though (let’s face it…it’s never enough, their friendship is amazing)! This book was an introductory chapter book, so of course there were a few illustrations. These illustrations were pretty and I think that they added a lot to the story. It’s nice to see the characters in full color. I felt like the art is more closely mimicked to the original 1953 classic, which for me (who grew up with the classic) is an absolute bonus.Overall, I highly highly highly recommend this book for any and all fans of Peter Pan/Tinker Bell (unless you hated the Tinker Bell 2008 film–then I don’t highly highly highly recommend this book). I am definitely way outside the target audience for this book, but I still found absolute delight in the hour and a half it took for me to finish it. It’s definitely a short read, but for me it was a good one!

My daughter loves this series and I enjoy them as well... which isn't the case with allot of kid's books.

I am reducing the amount of books I have in my office and figured this should go to the little library so another child could enjoy it. I had never read this as my daughter wanted to do that on her own. I assumed this was a version and or inspiration for the Tinker Bell movie. It's not.It's basically a story after the events with Peter Pan. Tink was using her talent of fixing pots and pans and took a break to play fairy tag with her friend Terrance and the other fairies. It was great fun until the game was broken up by the presence of a hawk. She heads back and finds she lost her tinkers hammer. She looks all over the place but can't find it. Tink tries to use replacements but they all go bad. Bad enough for the kingdom to think she had lost her talent. Bad enough for Vidia to torment her and tell her the Queen would to see Tink.Tink is embarrassed and can only tell one fairy what happened.There is only one thing that can be done. She has a spare hammer and it's with Peter Pan!Things did not go well when that Wendy appeared!This was a fun little read. It's simple and has pictures. An advanced reader can finish this in one sitting.

good

poor tink ever since peter pan and wendy were together in neverland tink got her feelings so hurt that she went away and hadnt talked to peter since but when she loses her hammer she has to risk seeing him to get it back. it was nice to see peter in this installment

Nothing to dislike
