Slippers of Pearl The Cobbler Mage Series Book 1 edition by Danyelle Leafty Children eBooks

Slippers of Pearl is an interesting twist and original take on the fairy-tale The Princess Who Couldn't Laugh. I thought the story was very imaginative and the writing was cute and witty (though there were more comparisons in this book than I think it really needed). I liked that the house the main character, Faryn, lived in was alive in a adorable and charming way. The story felt kind of like The Hobbit because Faryn goes on different adventures involving magic shoes, runaway pigs, and trying getting a girl to laugh to lift a curse. My only complaint about this book was that unlike Bilob who is on all these adventures to get somewhere, there was no overall story line connecting all the side quests in Slippers of Pearl. Still, the author put a lot of detail in the story that made it very rich and entertaining to me.

Overall, it's a good coming of age story with a lot of funny moments and a good message. It was pretty entertaining for me as an adult, but I think kids would really dig this story.

Slippers of Pearl The Cobbler Mage Series Book 1 edition by Danyelle Leafty Children eBooks Reviews

Slippers of Pearl is a delightful story which has a little bit of fun for every age of reader, and I found myself happily turning pages to learn of the goose-girl's fate. Faryn can make shoes and work magic. Although Faryn does not want to be subjected to magic, he needs it in his life in order to survive his journey filled with wizards, gnomes and pigs, black magic at times, and beautiful blue creatures. I'm hoping for another book to follow sharing more of his adventures with the goose girl!
Faryn is a teenage boy surrounded by the unwieldy magic that manifests itself in often annoying ways at home. Ready for something better, he determines to become a shoemaker. Unfortunately his uncle Harvey, a magician of some renown, has managed to die. Again. But this time it seems that his uncle will not be coming back. And guess who is his uncle's heir and must go to the castle at once to learn magic and save the kingdom?

A whimsical ride through a world where magic permeates everything whether anyone realizes it or not. Slippers of Pearl by Danyelle Leafty is an enjoyable read that entertained me with smile after smile after smile. As I read this magical tale, I knew that if I were to share it as a bedtime story, my children would stay up longer just to hear more and more.

I highly recommend Slippers of Pearl.

I really enjoyed reading Slippers of Pearl daily on my tucked into my elliptical while I sweated it out. It was full of magic, humor, mystery, and a little bit of love. It was fast paced and there was always something happening to keep the story moving. I think it is a cute more modern day fairy tale and everyone should read it if you enjoy fantasy and magic.
This was such a fun and imaginative read. I really like the world Leafty creates where magic seeps into the very fabric of the universe.

The characters are vibrate and fun to watch interact, as they don't always get along. Faryn is near hopeless as his, clearly powerful, magic has a mind of its own and keeps leading him further into trouble. His room mate only makes things worse with his penchant for collecting curses(as in curses that are cast on him). With the whole kingdom falling under a spell and Faryn suspected as being the center of it, he's certainly got his challenges ahead of him.

If you're looking for something you child can read

I don't remember there being any language
There's no sexual content
There's very little violence, mostly just people throwing magic at each other.

It's a great read for adults who love fantasy too.
Slippers of Pearl is a fun middle grade fantasy that follows the misadventures of Faryn, a teenage boy of humble means who is sent away from home to apprentice in wizardry and take his uncle's place in court after the old man's (seemingly) final passing. Faryn, however, wants nothing to do with magic and would rather learn the cobbler's trade. As the story unfolds, Faryn's desire to make shoes and his reluctant affinity for magic that runs in his blood become wonderfully (if not always desirably) entwined. This shapes his emerging powers as well as his identity, and it was my favorite aspect of the story. The characters are wonderfully likeable, the magic is creative, and just when you think nothing else could go wrong, Faryn and his friends find themselves in even more trouble thanks to magic. Great story!
Faryn Moore's life is soaked in magic to the nth degree. His family house is so thick with the stuff it has its own personality and emotions, and the tea service around the kitchen has a life its own. Faryn, though, doesn't want the magic. Of all his aunts and uncles, most of them wizards, the one he wants to get apprenticed to is the ordinary cobbler, Brogain. His bad luck then, that when his uncle Harvey the wizard suffer his latest and final death by apple turnover, Faryn as his heir has to go off to the capital and become apprenticed to take his uncle's place.

At the capital he gets treated more like a janitor than a wizard, befriends a fellow apprentice with a special talent for being cursed, meets a goose girl with one mischievous goose and a dream of reading books, and finds that guild rules mean he can't even make shoes as a hobby... unless he does it as a wizard. His poor mastery results in a pair of shoes that turn the goose girl into an actual goose, but things go downhill from there... when the sorceress who turnovered his uncle to death makes a play for the kingdom, Faryn and his wild shoe magic turn out to be the only thing standing in her way.
Sometimes absurd, but in an endearing way, this book was a fun read that I enjoyed from beginning to end. My only real complaint is that it could have used a proofreader, but the errors weren't so bad that I would dock stars from it.
