Tom is a Dreammaker, but because he isn't a full fairy he has never felt like he truly belonged to his calling and kind. If he could just prove to the world that his dreams are just as good as a full blooded fairy Dreammakers then he feels he could be accepted as an honorable match for his future bride, Mary. In order to show the world that he is just as capable and talented as his full fairy peers, Tom decides to set out across the land to find a special fair where he can demonstrate his ability and high quality wares and rake in the gold. Unfortunately for Tom his plan never quite goes according to, well, plan. Imps, trolls, birds, toads, and even other fairies all throw Tom off his game, and his course quickly becomes more than he bargained for.

I found that this anti-fairytale to be quite a cute little book. I'd say it deserves a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The author did a fine job crafting Tom, his world, and all the other characters that came to play. It was a light hearted story good for both kids and adults alike, and one with a strong message. You can try to be someone you're not, but in the end your true self will always shine through. That's the message I took away from reading this tale anyways.

There are a couple of fun and equally unique things I'd like to point out about this book.

1. Musical Interludes - Okay, so what exactly do I mean by musical interludes? It's quite simple really. As our main character Tom travels on his adventure he likes to occasionally sing himself a little tune; the lyrics of which are written within the pages of the book. Not so different, I know. But what is different is the interactive option which allows readers to click to hear the song being sung to the intended tune. This to me was not just unique, but a little bit brilliant. What a great way to draw readers in and give them an even more enveloping feel of being inside the story?

2. Reader's Choice - Alright, this aspect is nothing new, but it is a fun and refreshing way to kick it old school. Part way through Tom's story, readers are given the option of choosing which path Tom will take. Giving this choice allows the reader to play a part in the adventure that Tom experiences going forward. This is similar to some of my childhood favorites the Choose Your Own Adventures books. Unlike with that series, however, there is only one point within this book for readers to make such a choice. What's cool though is that by presenting these two options readers have been given two possible outcomes which automatically ensures a second read through in order to see what the alternative could have been.

All in all, I liked this story and think it will delight readers both young and old because of the style and storyline. And I certainly look forward to any future installments to Tom's story.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for granting me this early release review opportunity.
