Thorpe skillfully explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the importance of keeping secrets, which resonate with young readers. The narrative is fast-paced and filled with excitement, ensuring that readers remain hooked from start to finish.

"A Dandelion Wish," the third book in the series, takes the adventure to another level as the girls make a wish that leads to unexpected consequences. This book beautifully illustrates the adage, "Be careful what you wish for," and teaches valuable lessons about responsibility and unintended outcomes. The introduction of new fairy characters and mystical elements keeps the story fresh and intriguing.

The fourth installment, "From the Mist," delves deeper into the magical lore of Pixie Hollow, introducing mysterious mist horses and exploring the concept of bravery. The girls must work together to solve problems and face their fears, reinforcing the themes of teamwork and courage. Thorpe’s storytelling prowess shines through as she seamlessly blends magic with real-life challenges, making the fantastical elements feel believable and immersive.

Overall, The Never Girls Collection #1: Books 1-4 is a delightful read for children aged six to ten.
