🥾The Plot: Amazing fable about Leprechaun girl Annabelle, who decides to prove that you can do brilliantly what you love, despite the fact you are born for another purpose and destined for another job. Living in Ireland in a family of Shoemakers little Annabelle accidentally gets trapped into a man’s suitcase and finds herself in New York, where she is about to prove that baking delicious pies isn’t for her, she is fated to become great in something else.

🥾The Writing Style: I read other books by this writer in the fantasy genre. Without any hesitation, I can say that this writer is incredibly talented as he managed to create an adorable fairytale that grabbed my son’s attention from the first pages. Quick-paced, easy and enjoyable writing style with lots of humorous, motivational, educational and wise moments.

👦🏽P.S. I was reading it with my 5 y.o. son and he enjoyed reading it. He was curiously peering at a pair of shoes that were not good, asking me whether it is possible to wear shoes of different sizes. I just rephrased his words at the beginning of the review. He said something like: ‘If I were such a pair of shoes, I should be taken to a cobbler to be improved”.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021Very imaginative and different from what I usually read. If I had young kids, I’d read them this. Hoping to see more from you.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020A cute fairy tale about a girl who makes shoes. The message is an intro in woman's emancipation. Girls are not here only to make pies. They can work like boys and earn money. The end comes a little quickly. I would like to know how she spent her gold.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021This is a cute story with fun illustrations that children of all ages will love. It's a take on a few of the fables of old but updated a bit. I think the tale will be a cherished addition to a child's library. Children will love the illustrations that add so much to an already clever story.
