The Windvale Sprites by Mackenzie Crook | Waterstones

This book is a lovely, light-hearted read that I am certain children of many ages would really enjoy. It is shrouded in mystery and magic and is simply a cute tale that was hard not to find entertaining. There was humour laced with the story as well and I just believe it was a lovely and wonderful book, which is good when you just want to escape for a little while. The boy in the book is like Jane Goodall because he cares about animals. I think many children aged nine to twelve should read this book because they would enjoy it and it has parallels to the real world.

Reviews

One day I will be remembered as the greatest scientist that the world has ever known and so it is my duty to mankind to record my thoughts that future generations are able to study the progress of a genius. and this person trying to find him and have more information . that all I can tell you without spoiling the story The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have... I can relate to thrill of finding new species as I'm a nature enthusiast and go on sorties for birding and herping frequently. Here a small boy goes on an adventure to find extremely elusive creatures. The ending of the nemesis was well executed and heart-warming. Wish there was aftermath to boys adventure after final chapter, like end-credit scenes in marvel movies. What a truly wonderful book! Beautifully and engagingly written and with quirky illustrations. A joy! There are passages in the book which describe cruelty towards the sprites which I would be wary of reading to younger children, which is to say that this book has some depth to it. It makes complete sense in terms of the characters but this is not just a sweet book about fairies. Funny, thought-provoking, and moving. Recommended!

This is a very magical story. It is about a curious boy called Asa Brown who finds a fairy. He is my favourite character because he wants to find out what the Windvale Sprites are and how they live. It has a fascinating story line and is so like real life. The idea of a sprite living in a moor like the one I live near gives me a feeling that makes me want to go and see if they do exist! Do fairies really exist? Asa embarks on a mission to find out. A mission that leads him to the lost journals of local eccentric Benjamin Tooth who, two hundred years earlier, claimed to have discovered the existence of fairies. What Asa reads in those journals takes him on a secret trip to Windvale Moor, where he discovers much more than he’d hoped to . . .

A warning to parents/ librarians/ teachers: the pictures – both word and visual – of dead and tormented sprites might unsettle younger children who read this book. However, these themes do tend to draw readers in above a certain age. Mad Scientist: Why do scientists always get a bad press? Why is Asa the hero? Why not Benjamin Tooth the alchemist? Just once, I'd like to read a book where a scientist doesn't make a mistake and cause a plague, or breed a herd of man eating dinosaurs, or blow the world up. Just once, I'd like the scientist to be the hero and save the day. Just the other day, for example, I was on a beach and spotted a venomous snake. But because I was a scientist, I was able to identify the snake and alert everyone. Just think, if I hadn't been there...
