When Tinker Met Bell: A Nocturne Falls Universe story

I love this YA addition to NFU. When Tinker Meets Bell is sort of a Goonies meets Revenge of the Nerds meets Stranger Things meets Pretty in Pink. Basically, it follows a group of nerdy friends who happen to be all kinds of strange and awkward supernatural beings, at a school where you not only have toworry about trying to fit in, but you also have to worry about werewolf jocks, witches, spells, curses, magic, fate, and destiny. Bell is the overly optimistic fairy who, while embraced by everyone (often literally) never knows who genuinely wants to be around her or if they just want her for her fair dust. She has found her best friend in the one person who didn't care about her fairy dust, in fact he's allergic to it. Tinker the Goblin, has always felt invisible and insecure besides the one girl who never looked at him and saw only his green, warty skin, and his quirky group of friends. Tinker decides to finally express his feelings to Bell, but is pulled back into the goblin world he had left behind.
I love this story so much. I love the unique abilities and supernaturals that Alethea has cast together. Bell and the group work together to rescue Tinker, and each of the characters personalities show through despite it being a short story. Tinker has a heart for his fellow goblins and while willing to take on the role as leader, he would prefer to return to school with Bell and his friends. There's no big fight scene or major drama in this book, but it's a fun quest type story, plus a great friendship-to-love story mixed in.

A lighthearted romance for a great afternoon.

A super cute tale about two people who should remain on opposite ends of the universe never meeting. Friends for an eternity, Tinker and Belle (Bellamy) slowly grew to love each other. The fact that he's allergic to her doesn't matter in their friendship, but for a relationship, it's a real killer. I loved getting to see Aletha's second venture into Nocturne Falls and the younger generation who inhabit the town. She rounds out the town nicely giving the younger citizens a voice. The story was everything one could expect and perfect for younger readers as well as adults.

I loved this book and the characters overcoming obsticals and it shows not only the true meaning of friendship but also how people will go to the end of the earth for true love!
