Trill is tall, shy, and awkward. Only music makes her feel at ease. And she loves to create music on different types of instruments--like using cooking pots as drums. Full color.

Our Review

This charming early chapter book explores themes of shyness and finding one's voice through the story of Trill, an awkward fairy who feels most comfortable expressing herself through music. Young readers will connect with Trill's journey as she discovers creative ways to make music using everyday objects like cooking pots, showing how imagination can transform ordinary items into extraordinary instruments. The story gently addresses social anxiety while celebrating the unique talents that quiet children often possess, making it particularly meaningful for sensitive readers who might see themselves in Trill's experiences.

What sets this fairy adventure apart is its authentic portrayal of introversion as a strength rather than something to overcome, with Trill's musical gift becoming her pathway to connection. Children who enjoy friendship stories with gentle conflict will appreciate how the narrative validates different personality types while maintaining the magical appeal of fairy world adventures. The full-color illustrations and accessible chapter book format make this an ideal bridge for newly independent readers ready to explore longer stories about characters navigating social challenges and discovering their special abilities.
