An epic Young Adult Fantasy that follows the adventures a young wannabe Tooth Fairy named Farrah Fancycracker.
You may think that you know about the mythical beings known as fairies, but the truth will shock you.
14-year old Farrah Fancycracker hates her life. Although she lives in Fairyland, the most wondrous place in the universe, her talents have been wasted. As a small-winged Ordinaria fairy, she is not permitted to practice the Pixie Arts to become a Tooth Fairy. Only the Superiora, the so-called ‘elite,’ big-winged fairies are allowed to explore the full extent of their powers at the Pixie Academy.
Everything changes after a vicious attack from the Cornuto creatures. With Fairyland at the brink of extinction, the Fairy Queen calls upon all fairies, both Ordinaria and Superiora alike. Having unexpectedly discovered that she is in fact a Tuttatti fairy, the most powerful fairy in Fairyland, the fate of the land now rests in the hands of Farrah. Will Farrah seize this opportunity to show Fairyland just how powerful she really is?
Excerpt
“The earth is burning, Farrah!”
“It’s always burning; actually it has been so long…I can’t remember it not burning.”
“Yeah, but this time it is different. This time it burns even worse.”
“You’re talking nonsense, Giuseppe.”
“I’m telling you, Farrah, it is worse. I can’t even see Mount Everest anymore.”
“What in all of Fairyland are you talking about, Giuseppe?”
“Look – the smoke is so thick and black that you can’t see anything down there.”
“Okay, okay, let go of my hand…you’re right, what the heck are they doing to themselves?”
“I don’t know, but it doesn’t look like things are getting any better Farrah”
“Silly humans, I can’t believe that they would destroy such a wonderful place.”
“I guess they didn’t realize how wonderful it was until it was too late.”
“My dad used to tell me about this place on earth. It was a beautiful garden with many plants and flowers, and the most wondrous birds and insects used to live there. My dad wanted dearly to go down and see it in person, but he never had the chance to.”
“It is too late now, Farrah, it’s probably gone.”
“Yeah, sad isn’t it?”
“In a sense, yes.”
“In a sense? How can you say that, Giuseppe?”
“Well, I was just thinking, maybe now that things are so bad down on earth, people will want to come and live up here in Fairyland.”
“You bite your tongue, Giuseppe.”
“I know, Farrah, it is not the most tactful thing to say, but if they do start to come and live here, maybe Fairyland would be saved.”
“People haven’t made the voyage to Fairyland in years, Guiseppi. Plus, you know that Fairyland can’t exist without the Earth.”
“Your realism always puts a damper on things, Farrah. Just once I wish you would let me dream a little.”
“Dreaming is for suckers, Giuseppe. If you want to make something happen, you go out and do it.”
“Pfft – What are you, an Ordinaria going to do?
“I don’t know, Giuseppe…but Fairyland will not disappear – I won’t let it!”
