The Secret Side of Fairy Dust, by Cheri Pardue Blomquist
(middle-grade novel)
SPECIAL OFFER! I have 10 copies that were not formatted as I intended, and I would hate to throw them away. I am therefore offering them at no charge plus media mail shipping costs (Venmo, Paypal, or concealed cash). Limit 2.
Merry Grey has always dreamed of seeing a real fairy, and she is certain that this is the year her dream will come true. After all, she will not only turn ten, but her birthday is also on Midsummer’s Eve, the night when fairies come out for their most spectacular ball! When she meets a mysterious woman who claims that Merry is part fairy and that she will soon find a gift of fairy dust just for her, she can hardly believe her luck.
But life is not a fairy tale, Merry soon realizes, and troubles begin to mount that she cannot solve. Worse, the expected gift of fairy dust, which she is certain will fix everything, is nowhere to be found. Fairy dust has a secret side, though--the ability to hide in the human heart as a special kind of magic with unlimited power and beauty. And it's just waiting to be discovered.
