Title: Philippa
Fisher and the Fairy’s Promise (Philippa Fisher #3)
Author: Liz Kessler
Rating: 5/5
Summary: Philippa is excited to spend her vacation with her friend Robyn, but she has no idea just how much excitement awaits. When a magic spell carved on a mysterious circle of rocks transports Philippa to fairy godmother headquarters, she learns that her own mother is in danger. To protect her mom from a serious accident, Philippa must pretend to be a fairy, while Daisy, her fairy godsister, returns to Earth as Philippa! And that’s just the beginning of their adventure. After passing a harrowing test of their loyalty to each other, Philippa and Daisy undergo a fantastic journey to rescue a lost fairy who has devoted her powers to maintaining the portal of the stone circle. With time running out, and the worlds of humans and fairies at risk of being severed, Daisy finds herself facing an extraordinary choice that has the power to change her life forever.

Review: Okay, so I had my usual final book in a series anxiety with this one, because it is just that, the final book in the Philippa Fisher series, and I have to say it is my favorite book of the series. Things get way more complicated than they have been in the books prior to this and there are more mysteries than ever before! The trio of friends in this book is something else, and I love them to pieces: Philippa, Robyn and Daisy.
There is suspense in this book, something that isn’t so much in the others. It isn’t a good or bad feeling, just the addition of a little drama that makes things a bit more interesting as the story progresses. I also do like the way that this is written, much like the rest of the series there isn’t so much “chapters” but noticeable shifts from person to person, so we actually get to experience the thoughts and feelings of each character individually throughout the book. Also, we meet some new faces, and the ending does leave the hope that there may be a fourth installment to the Philippa Fisher series.
The setting is the same as in the previous book, Philippa Fisher and the Dream-Maker’s Daughter, but the season is different. This time the Fishers are visiting Robyn and her Dad over the winter holidays, and are going to be spending New Years with them. Robyn’s dad doesn’t make much of an appearance in this one, and isn’t really a major player in the story, however we do get to see another side to the eccentric and artsy Mrs. Fisher in this story.
The stone circle, Tidehill Rocks, is the scene of the event, which I am certain you can guess, if you know some of the mythology and magical history surrounding stone circles, and brings about the start of another adventure for this trio of best friends. It is easy to read, and darn it I want more Philippa Fisher!
