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.Prepare   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.\u003cbr\u003e—Real Simple Family\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis   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.
