Fairy Chronicles: Cinnabar and the Island of Shadows

Helen Michaels, a 10 year-old black girl who has been endowed with the fairy spirit of a cinnabar moth is the latest addition to the young fairies in the Fairy Chronicle series. Helen’s special fairy gift is her ability to perform better at night than during the day. Because of this talent, she is chosen to lead the fairies in a dangerous mission to the Island of Shadows.

As Madam Toad explains to the fairies at fairy circle, the shadows of all living creatures are manufactured on the Island of Shadows by shadowmakers. Shadows are important because they keep their humans company, can act as protectors, and serve as guides for their humans in the “hereafter.” Shadows are delivered by special hawks shortly after a child’s birth. Unfortunately, several children around the world have failed to receive their shadows. It is Helen’s job as the Cinnabar Fairy to lead her group to the Island of Shadows and determine what has happened to the missing shadows.

Although all the books in this series are generally a pure delight, every now and then details pop up that may pose a bit of a problem. The idea of a shadow leading its owner into the hereafter might be too much for some parents to swallow, since it sounds a bit like some strange ancient pagan religion. There is also a brief battle scene between the fairies and the Demon of Light. Even so, Cinnabar and the Island of Shadows cannot be faulted for its wholesome characters, its adventurous (but not scary) plot, and its uniformly pleasing illustrations.

Following the story, readers can read a shadow poem, take shadow tracings, and learn about cypress trees and volcanoes.
