About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning to longer chapter books and needs a story that balances magical excitement with silly, low-stakes humor.

The characters must use their wits to outsmart the Airy Fairies, modeling creative problem solving and mutual support. Written with a lighthearted tone, it provides a safe space for elementary-aged readers to experience a sense of wonder and adventure without the weight of intense peril or complex emotional baggage.
