Join them and their friends Moonface, Saucepan Man and Silky the fairy as they discover which new land is at the top of the Faraway Tree.

This is the best book I have ever read. I liked what the characters did, it was kind things. It was the longest book I have read.

I think the Faraway Tree is a fascinating story. Joe, Beth and Frannie go into another exciting, new world.

The magic faraway tree is a fiction book. I like Silky the fairy the best because she had pretty golden hair and was always very neat and tidy. Joe, Beth and Frannie's cousin Rick had come to stay with them because his mother wasn't feeling very well. Rick is nice and all, but he is quite greedy. When Joe, Beth, Frannie and Rick went to the land of goodies they also go with Moon-Face, Silky and the Saucepan Man. But when they're suppose to leave, Rick breaks some of the gingerbread windowsill and then takes a peppermint knocker of a door. It was a man's knocker that Rick had taken. Nobody else had seen Rick do these things except the man. I would recommend this book to somebody who likes adventure stories because this is an adventurous book.

I really like this book. My favourite character is Silky, the fairy because she a clock that can walk. I liked the clock a lot. It ding donged to save the children from Dame Snap.
