Wellspring of Magic

By Jan Fields

What happens when six creative girls accidentally open a Secret Door to a Magical Realm? It doesn't take long for adventure -- and danger -- to find them! Upon arriving in the Realm, eleven-year-old Shaylee and her friends learn they are the long-awaited princesses of the Six Kingdoms, and each girl has a unique magical power tied to her creative talents. But the kingdoms are in ruin thanks to an evil force that has drained nearly all of the power from the Wellspring of Magic. As if that wasn't bad enough, the door between the real world and the Realm is stuck! It can't be opened again -- and the girls can't go home -- until the magic is restored to the Wellspring. Shaylee and her friends must work together using their creative abilities, such as dancing, painting, and beading, to channel powers they never knew they had and fight the dark forces threatening to destroy the Realm. Their adventure will bring them face-to-face with gigantic grizzly bears claiming to be their protectors, green-skinned fairy folks, a scaly river dragon, vampire spiders, and killer plants -- things none of the girls expected to face during their summer break. Can they master their new powers in time to turn back the dark forces that want to trap them in the Realm forever? The Creative Girls Enchanted Adventures series is an irresistible mix of crafts, magic, humor, and adventure that will have girls hooked on reading!

Reviews for Wellspring of Magic

[junipersun · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Seems to be geared to preteen girls, with its theme of ordinary girls being called Princess in the alternate world they explore. They each discover their special talent that will be needed to restore magic and life energy to the people of this world (and to return home themselves).I picked this up originally thinking to give it to my granddaughter, but after reading it decide not.

Too young for me. A cute portal-and-quest adventure, with six different protagonists all of whom are necessary to the solution. Mildly interesting to read once, not worth rereading (again, for me). It starts awkwardly, with introductions "written" by each girl - which shortcuts any real character development or relationships.
