This short story is included in a larger book with other short stories. It is a fairy tale, and a classic tale of "good vs. evil". It is about two best friends who have to help a fairy apprentice to defeat an evil musical muse, who wants to take over the kingdom. In the end, the good overpowers the evil, but of course not in a mean way. Although there could be something taught about "good vs. evil", I don't think this story goes far beyond that. I would not use it in a classroom, except for free reading time, because there is no educational value to it. Because of this, and because the book was not extremely entertaining, I am rating this story 1 star. The illustrations are typical barbie. They portray pretty, skinny girls and a lot of pink. ( )
