This was definitely one of my most favorite of the Serendipity series while I can remember the pictures as if I had just read it the other day.

This is probably the most fantastical world that Cosgrove created while its creatures are very memorable, especially with the illustrations provided. This is definitely one to book to enjoy for a very long time to come. ( )

A nostalgic trip back into my childhood - invoked first by the musty scent of this pre-loved hardcover, with its bright and cheerful, saturated colours.

The writer, Cosgrove, certainly has a lyrical flow to his words, evoking imagery with his descriptions - imagery that is reflected in the delightful illustrations by Robin James.

In the crystal land where lightasoars and other magical beasts roam, all is translucent in blues and whites. Until the day a seed appears, its strangeness bringing with it fear. But one small lightasoar, Shimmeree, does not fear this strange new thing - instead she nurtures it and brings some colour into their sparkling world.

"...You had nothing to fear but fear itself..." ( )
