Calla shows how much she’s grown – not. She continues to make the reader laugh. This is the type of book that you can get lost in. This is a story that is all pure imagination. The imagination that starts from the first book. It’s a series that must be read in order.

If you really want to enjoy Calla than in order to enjoy her you need to start where it all began. You won’t doing that because the author has ways to make you laugh out loud. It may be listed as a book for young adults/children but I think anyone would enjoy.

The author is very creative. She takes an imaginary character and we get to see her through her diaries. All her feelings and impressions are written down for us to experience. The author takes the time to include pictures which was just a plus. If you’ve gotten through Calla’s current adventure then the ending will get you ready for the next.

A easy and swoon worthy romance book. Going on a quest with your big crush to find your missing father, what can go wrong? Well let me tell you. A LOT. Its hard and long way to find her father. Calle will have to fight for it till the very end. I can't wait for the next book!

More Calla! A lot of fun and fantasy. Probably best for a YA audience, a bit twee for adults. However it’s very contagious in its action and plot. I’ll definitely continue in the series!

Another cutesy story. Calla is having to learn and grow - which I like. The twist at the end surprised me. But I liked seeing Calla and Dare get closer.

These books are so fun!

If you're looking for a lighthearted story told in a very easy way, these books are sure to lift your spirits. Calla is newly queen and dealing with some drama in her kingdom. Nobody wants to be near her and she's getting very little respect. Oh, and she's also getting stalkery letters from the gargoyle king on the regular. Roll all that together with a prank-prone pixie and you get Calla, ready to adventure!

This book takes Calla on a journey to avoid some pretty bad side effects to her new rule. She's got Dare by her side (don't worry!), but I'm sure there's some major twists and turns ahead! I completely enjoyed this wild ride to new and exciting lands. Calla might be young and impetuous, but she is seriously growing on me. I can't wait for more!

Calla and Dare are being sent on a mission. The Blue Fairy doesn’t think it is a big deal, but if they aren’t successful, they will be dead in a week. That is a big deal on everyone’s level! Blue also thinks that since Calla and Dare are friends that it won’t be awkward, but this is awkward to the extreme since Calla has a huge crush on Dare. It doesn’t help that they would like to ask Calla’s dad for permission to court and if they do any inappropriate touching without that approval, then the answer will be an absolute NO! Will Calla and Dare be successful in their quest? What will Calla’s dad say when asked if they can court?

Calla is the second book in the Pixieland Diaries series. This book picks up quickly after the last book and it is still written in diary format. Since diaries are meant to be casual in their presentation, this book reads very quickly and without a lot of drudging details. I feel this book is meant to be an escape read and is not intended to be looked at as high literature. Calla was fun to read and could easily be read in one sitting or over a weekend. I can’t wait for the next book, Dare, to get released.

I just could not get into this book. Calla was to me annoying and just all over the place. I felt like things just happened to easily. Oh no she forgot her dads approval oh wait he gives it in the nick of time so now she can still see Dare.

I understand the journal entries and how they are supposed to be informal. I dont understand why stuff would be crossed out and re-explained to seem less mean or intentional. Calla also in my opinion speaks like an annoying teeny bopper and I read her with an annoyingly high pitched fake voice.

Personally this book isnt for me but for someone else it may be there favorite. If the description captures your interest give it a try never let another's opinion influence yours we all enjoy different things.

A steamy romance- kind of book since Callas Crush is going with her to find her dad Tristan.
Calla has a MEGA CRUSH on Dare and how ever will she be able to focus?
i cant say much out without spoiling the story but this is a must read for any age!

I absolutely love the journal style of this book series and i LOVE seeing calla develop as a fairy!
