Vidia must fly on an adventure trying to hunt down the crown, as her all over Never Land, trying to find it in time to save her own reputation of being mean to perhaps good? That is what the story, goes into details about, as the art style is very fluid, vivid really, seeing the fairies in the film series, turned a whole another art style for this manga series, is something else. It is as if the characters literally fly off the pages, as you read through the story. The art being so creative and unique, it keeps the read and story at hand, very interesting and genuine too. It is a story with lots of fun, outgoing, yet clever incidents that Vidia faces while on her journey of finding the crown of Queen Clarion.
The next volume in the Disney Fairies manga series is titled "Tinkerbell's Secret" it shows off another part of the story, that was not shown in the films, unless you count Peter Pan I and II of course.

As this one shows Tinkerbell getting to fix the bath tub of Queen Lee, one of the most biggest honor any tinker fairy could get from somefairy.

Looking for the hammer while not getting cauhgt by Peter or the Lost Boys is quite difficult, but during your daring read, you are just taken a back at by how the art style is just drawn out. Cannot stress that enough, of how the art is pulls you into the story even more. Seeing the characters you have known in one way, seeing them in this new way is just thrilling and just as exciting as this tale is really. The story is gripping and fun through and through though, lots of laughs, scares, and moments you will recall right after for sure.
