She lives in the woods just south of Boston; the perfect place to search for wild fairies!It was a warm spring morning. The wild fairies flitted around the Great Hall of Sugar Oak. Buds of green were popping up all over their beautiful, old oak tree home. The sun danced between the branches. And everybody talked at once. \u003cbr\u003e “I liked the hazelnut stew best,” Thistle said. His purple hair stood out sharply, just like his spiky wings. \u003cbr\u003e “Don’t forget the honey cakes!” Daisy said. The white petals of her dress swished back and forth as she spoke. “They were so yummy!” \u003cbr\u003e They were talking about the Blossom Bash. It was the forest’s big festival to celebrate the first bloom of spring. And the wild fairies were the hosts this year. They had been worried about decorating Sugar Oak in time, but thanks to Daisy, it was a huge success and everybody had the best time! \u003cbr\u003e “The entertainment was amazing,” said Dahlia. Her squirrel friend, Peanut, bobbed his head in agreement. \u003cbr\u003e “Yes!” Heather nodded. “Celosia’s song was so wonderful.” \u003cbr\u003e “Thank you,” Celosia said and smiled. “But Lily’s dance was my absolute favorite.” \u003cbr\u003e Lily put her hand to her heart. “Aw, thanks, C! I’ve already started working on a new water routine.” Lily swirled her hands in the air, mimicking her movements through the water. “This one is going to have an even bigger splash finale than the one at Blossom Bash!” Lily told her friends. \u003cbr\u003e “I love it already!” Poppy said. \u003cbr\u003e Just then Lily’s frog friend, Splash, croaked. “You’re right, Splash. We’d better get back to the pond.” Since Lily was a wild fairy and a mermaid, she couldn’t be away from the water for very long. “See you tomorrow, everyone.” Lily climbed onto Splash’s back, and he hopped out the door of the Great Hall. \u003cbr\u003e “Bye, Lily! Bye, Splash!” the wild fairies called.","brand":"Rodale Kids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304941539557,"sku":"NP9781635651348","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781635651348.jpg?v=1767744312","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/wild-fairies-2-lilys-water-woes-isbn-9781635651348","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
