While this book is directed at children and there are some points where the narration becomes stilted or awkward, this is an extremely fun, sweet story. If you like corgis, this book is for you. If you like fantasy books like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, this book is for you. If you like family-friendly books that have a healthy balance of humor and drama, this book is for you.
In fact, if you are literate, you like reading, and you have a heart, this book is for you! I really enjoyed this book and am so very glad that Kevin is so obsessed with corgis.
Interview with CORGI CHRONICLES author, Laura Madsen
Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have ever discovered this wonderful little tale. I strongly recommend it to everyone. It's not too long, and so long as you're not also reading tons of things for school, you'll probably be able to read it in one rather long sitting. Dec 04, Veraa rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: What can I tell you about this book …? A fluffy, chubby, wubby, magical corgi?
What more do you need to know from me? You absolutely need to read this book because of a fucking magical corgi!
Interview with CORGI CHRONICLES author, Laura Madsen -
And when I found out this book existed I immediately needed to buy it. I just wanted the book about the magical corgi. The font is a bit bigger then other books I read but the story is amazing! I was able to read this book without putting it down. It was easy and enjoyable! His fairy misstress Aliiana needed his help and so he sneaks out of his human home to help and save the world!
How cool is that? The point of view is from the corgi his mind, which is quite nicely done if you ask me! Sep 14, Liz rated it liked it Shelves: Despite this being a children's book, I still really enjoyed the story. Honestly, I bought it because the cover was adorable and it sounded really cute -- it definitely delivered in that department. The author cleverly integrates fantasy elements into a modern-day American setting, and there's a delightful mix of science and magic.
I did have one serious issue with this book, and that was its use of the Magical Native American trope, which plays on the racist stereotype of native people as exoti Despite this being a children's book, I still really enjoyed the story.

So yeah, big minus points in that department. I would probably have given this 5 stars if not for that. Dec 26, Benita Blue rated it really liked it. I'm a corgi fan so naturally, I bought this book expecting it to be for younger kids it was but it was really good I might be biased but I thought it was great. The vocabulary was a bit basic but the story was easy to follow so would recommend it to parents who want to find a good book for their kids. Mar 26, Mamie rated it liked it.
A young tween who enjoys stories about magical creatures will enjoy this adventure. I do wish there had been more of a back story about the evil human and how he came to hate magical folk and "turn to the dark side," so to speak. Aug 26, Rosemary Yakubowski rated it it was amazing. Cute little story about a "corgi to the rescue". It's a fun read for children and adults. If you have a corgi, you need to read this. Feb 13, Peyton Smith added it. How do I open a book on my tablet?

The Corgi Chronicles
Dasha rated it it was amazing Sep 13, Christine rated it liked it Apr 23, Ella rated it it was amazing Aug 13, He has a corgi, loves her to a sort of ridiculous extent, and is weak to all corgi-based things as a result. So, here we are, though. I guess the only thing to do is note that the age label here is entirely justified and then try to be as fair as I can. I know some other people here have to remember those old Rankin Bass Lord of the Rings cartoons. The ones where everything is just slightly sillier, and easier, and less epic?
This book reminds me of nothing so much as those old cartoons. And I may prefer my fairyland with a little more inhuman creepiness and less light and goodness. I may like my villain to have more backstory than sheer, entitled brattiness. I do like the idea of making a toned down Fellowship of the Ring, and this hits all of the classic fantasy standards. The magical mcguffin, the dark lord, and the motley band of allies that the party picks up as it moves along the quest are all there.
This book does really do well to introduce the basics of the genre. For the most part, it keeps itself moving. Even my complaints about the challenges the heroes face being too easy can be handwaved as the author saving her big moments for the end, because things do pick up there.

And our talking corgi hero may not be exceptionally deep, but he is fun and brave. Magical items with silly names? Balancing parenthood with writing is actually harder than balancing a job with writing. My work schedule is four hour shifts per week, and I usually have a couple weekdays off. When the kids are at school, those are my writing hours.
Laura is a veterinarian, mom and writer. The Corgi Chronicles is her first novel. Corgis are a big-eared, short-legged herding dog breed from Great Britain. The Queen of England has had dozens of corgis over the years. In Welsh mythology, fairies ride on corgis because they are too small to ride on horses. My personal pet corgi, Pippin named after the hobbit in Lord of the Rings , inspired the story. Check out Corgi Chronicles here!
