The sharp-tongued Shade, gregarious Ginch, and pilfering Professor
return for more mad-cap misadventures! Will the three stop a bullying
bugbear from closing the Grand Library of Elfame? Maybe. Will they track
down members of a secret society of book guardians and retrieve a
treasure trove of lost books? Possibly. Will Quentin Q. Quacksworth
actually approve of this tale? I wouldn't bet on it, but the only way to
find out is to read (against the advice of Quacksworth, of course)
Another Dreadful Fairy Book!
Bullying bugbears, inept inventors, bickering gangsters, hay
fever-plagued monsters--a whole new batch of dreadful fairies join
Shade, Ginch, and the Professor in this sequel to A Dreadful Fairy Book.
Shade's pleasant life in the magical Grand Library of Elfame is
threatened when the Grand Scrutinizer of the Ministry of Ordinariness,
Averageness, and Normalcy (M.O.A.N.) decides that the library poses a
danger to the "moral climate" of the fairy lands. Shade, unfortunately,
has little time to deal with that when she discovers that her late
father belonged to a secret society of book guardians. Taking up her
father's mission, Shade ventures forth to find and unite the other
members and retrieve a treasure trove of rare books. Will she succeed?
Will the library remain open? Will narrator Quentin Q. Quacksworth find
this book to be as "improper" as the last one? Read Another Dreadful
Fairy Book and find out!
