The Fairy Balm by Carbone, Véronique Barrau
3.0

3.5 Stars

Élina goes to meet her granny in the hospital and discovers that the old lady is a keeper of the magic folk. Granny tells her that one of the little faeries is in trouble and Élina should help.

Élina is doubtful in the beginning, but follows her granny’s instructions and is surprised to see the magical folks all around her. Her mother doesn’t believe in mythical creatures, and it’s up to Élina to find the lost one and protect the little folk.

This is the first part of the series and it ends with Élina promising her granny that she’ll stop her mother from sending the old lady into a care home. What will happen to the little folk in her garden with the keeper?

The Keeper of the Little Folk is a fast-paced fantasy story for children. It’s presented in the comics format with loads of illustrations and dialogue bubbles. Some of the illustrations are very good, though some of them felt too sharp for my liking.

The storyline is adventurous and intriguing. Children who like fairytales and magical lands will enjoy this urban fantasy.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Europe Comics and am voluntarily leaving a review.
