ReviewsPrepare to have your notions of fairyhood debunked: Flory, our heroine, can be snarky and rough. But she's also gutsy, loyal, and inherently good. The story of how Flory must fend for herself after losing her wings brings equal doses of character and suspense - and offers a satisfying antidote to all those prissy princess tales. --Real Simple Family This elegant hardback's snug size and Angela Barrett's exquisite miniature illustrations have the effect of making readers feel as if they've crept through a magic portal into a fairy-scale world. Indeed, looking up at story's end, children may be mildly surprised to find that they're still the size they've always been. --The Wall Street Journal Laura Amy Schlitz, who took us deep into a medieval village in her Newbery Medal-winning Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!, here allows us to inhabit the fascinating miniature world where fairies dwell. --Shelf Awareness An imaginative adventure story in a familiar, yet exotic landscape.... Beautifully composed, the artwork combines subtle use of color with a keen observation of nature that's reminiscent of Beatrix Potter's work. This finely crafted and unusually dynamic fairy story is a natural for reading aloud. --Booklist (starred review) Beautifully crafted. . . . Barrett's full-color watercolor illustrations add depth and perspective to the story. Detailed and drawn to scale, they give readers a sense of just how tiny Flory is compared to the other animals. Children will enjoy looking at this garden from the perspective of the tiny but resilient protagonist. Sure to be a favorite among girls who love fairies. --School Library Journal (starred review), "The girls who come into my library adore the prettiness of fairies, the miniature-ness. But they are also nature lovers and lovers of adventure - the future wild women of America. I couldn't help thinking that these little girls who love fairies deserve something lively." - Laura Amy Schlitz - Quote "If Flory had had a less exciting life, I would have enjoyed drawing a very detailed domestic interior for her. But she is a creature of simple needs, and after providing herself with a bed, clothes, and storage, she gets on with her mission outdoors. She is brave and resourceful - a perfect heroine." - Angela Barrett - Quote

SynopsisFrom 2008 Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz comes an exhilarating adventure -- and a thoroughly original fairy who is a true force of nature. What would happen to a fairy if she lost her wings and could no longer fly? Flory, a young night fairy no taller than an acorn and still becoming accustomed to her wings -- wings as beautiful as those of a luna moth -- is about to find out. What she discovers is that the world is very big and very dangerous. But Flory is fierce and willing to do whatever it takes to survive. If that means telling others what to do -- like Skuggle, a squirrel ruled by his stomach -- so be it. Not every creature, however, is as willing to bend to Flory's demands. Newbery Medal winner Laura Amy Schlitz and world-renowned illustrator and miniaturist Angela Barrett venture into the realm of the illustrated classic -- a classic entirely and exquisitely of their making, and a magnificent adventure.
