"I simply fell in love with the story Celia and the Fairies, and Secrets of the Magic Ring is a delightful sequel, although it is also a wonderful stand-alone story. I continued to be surprised and thrilled as Paul's story unfolded, especially when it took turns that I didn't anticipate. Just when I was sure that it could not possibly end well, the cleverness of a nine-year old saved the day! This is an adventure that is sure to appeal to both boys and girls, and I can't wait to read it to my students." -- Stacy Romanjuk, Fourth Grade Teacher at Hart Ransom School in Modesto, California I bought this for my son after reading the reviews and he loved it. My son usually doesn't like books without tons of pictures that are about a car or vehicle of some sort. He was drawn into this story by the fast paced plot which has plenty of twists and turns and it has inspired him to want to listen to other chapter books. Yay!! Thank-you for helping my son to enjoy books! - C. Dowd Amazon reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
