"This charming tale sparkles with wit, mystery, and pixie dust...Sure to enchant fairies and humans alike—and keep them guessing until the very last page!" —Jessica Khoury, bestselling author of the Mystwick School and Skyborn series
Tinker Bell loves nothing more than solving a problem. For her, red buttons demand to be pushed, treasure maps need to be followed, and lost things ought to be found. So when a strange fairy crash lands in Pixie Hollow and leaves Tinker Bell two clues to find a mysterious necklace on the Mainland, she really doesn’t have a choice but to help. However, her journey takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a hidden city of fairies living below the streets of London.
In this city called Bleakwatch, she'll meet the Flutterpunks, the most infamous band of trinket scavengers around. Helping her may just give them their biggest score yet. But when the Flutterpunks’ plan goes haywire, they’ll be forced to choose between a big payday or saving their new friend.
When their adventure takes them inside the glittering Clockwork Capital, Tinker Bell and the Flutterpunks will uncover a villainous secret that threatens all the fairies in Bleakwatch. It turns out there’s more at stake than just finding a missing necklace, and it’ll be up to Tinker Bell to set things right. Luckily, that’s what tinker fairies do best!
"Get ready for a whole new world of Tinker Bell. This is an adventure you don't want to miss." —Jen Calonita, New York Times bestselling author of the A Twisted Tale and Fairy Tale Reform School series.
"...Glowing with Tinker Bell's fiery optimism and resourcefulness, this is a fresh expansion on the world of Pixie Hollow that left me desperate for more." —Jessica Khoury, bestselling author of the Mystwick School and Skyborn series
“Fun, action-packed, and filled with delightful and unexpected twists. Readers will be eager for the next volume!” —Mari Mancusi, author of New Dragon City and Disney Polar Nights
Bleakwatch Chronicles: Tinker Bell and the Lost City (Bleakwatch Chronicles, 1) Reviews

An absolutely fabulous steampunk fairy adventure full of twists and turns, perfect for new and old fans of Tinker Bell! ✨️🧚♀️
(This new series takes place in the same world as the Tinker Bell movies, so there are plenty of Easter eggs and references to the films).
Tinker Bell travels to the Mainland to find the missing necklace of a mysterious fairy who crash-landed a flying machine on Neverland...
On the Mainland, she meets a band of scavenger fairies called the Flutterpunks, who take her to the hidden steampunk fairy city of Bleakwatch. Here, Tinker Bell discovers the failings of a world where pixie dust is scarce and fairies must take desperate measures to survive.
The Flutterpunks are a charming group of misfits with a delightful found family dynamic. They each had a fascinating past and we even got to read from their perspectives a few times! Of course, the clever and sarcastic leader Quin was my favorite ❤️
Tinker Bell and Quin argue a lot, but they also introduce each other to a completely different way of looking at the world, and empathy plays an enormous role in their relationship. Tinker Bell reconciles with her privilege, and Quin discovers putting others first - even if that person is strange and new.
My favorite part of reading this was all the new lore!! The Bleakwatch fairies are different than the Neverland fairies in some really fun ways, with a new culture, social structure, and economy. As mentioned previously, the entire economy of Bleakwatch is based off of scavenging and a limited supply of pixie dust, which results in a hilarious scene where Tinker Bell learns what it means to "buy" something. But also, we get a kid-friendly look at the consequences of a world where some have a lot, but most have a little.
We get plenty of lore but also plenty of adventure! Chases through Big Ben, crash landing a fairy helicopter, and even a high-stakes heist make the pages fly! We even get a makeover scene with Tinker Bell!
All in all, a fantastic read for any Disney Fairy fan. I can't wait to buy a copy! -
Dreams do come true. This review is based on an ARC.
Let's just say inclusive fairies. Period. A modern twist on the Neverland fairies and Tinkerbell's identity outside of Peterpan. A few times I was taken back with her phrases because having read all the Tink books and having watched all the Tink movies I felt it wasn't totally something she'd say but everything else was on brand. It felt fresh and new and engaging for a young audience and approachable for an audience not well versed in her overall story. -
ARC Copy...Even it going to take getting used to having steampunk in the "Disney Fairies" world now, did like having more fairy magical talents introduced!
