From 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.
