The Night Fairy
by Laura Amy Schlitz
Illustrated by Angela Barrett
Flory is a young night fairy who loses her wings to an accidental collision with a bat.
Now she must live by her wits and her tiny fairy magic or be a quick snack to one of the
hungry day creatures in a small garden. Flory is a fierce little creature and quickly makes
a home for herself and a friend of sorts—as long as he's willing to do exactly what
she says.
I believe bossy little Flory will be a character many young girls can relate to—and
her fierce determination is a trait they'll admire as well. Flory tackles dangers far larger
than herself and prevails with courage and quick thinking. The delicate full-color
illustrations add depth and vibrancy to Flory's world without losing a bit of the magic of
the tiny fairy's existence. This book is definitely a charmer. |
