Publisher Description

When Birdie goes to visit her grandmother for the first time, she learns that her grandmother is a fairy godmother - which means Birdie's a fairy godmother too!

Trained by fairies in a magical land called Aventurine, human fairy godmothers have been hidden protectors of the world for centuries. Birdie's family talisman, a singing stone, has been broken, and now only Birdie can use the stone to travel to Aventurine to repair it.

When she gets there, she meets Kerka, a warrior-like girl who has been sent to help her find the other half of the stone. Will Birdie and Kerka have the knowledge and strength to banish the shadow that has come over both the garden in Aventurine and Birdie's family? One thing's for sure - no one who travels to Aventurine will ever be the same again!

"This is a fun new combo for girls fantasy. I like the mix of old and new themes along with a dream world that is closely connected to the real one. While some series books for children have a slow pace that can drive adult readers insane, I loved the pace of this book and the idea of more coming."

    " It's a nice read--5-star rating is as much for the girl-positive community around the book as the book itself. Looking forward to the others! "

    " I actually only like reading books I already like with my kids. I had hoped Samantha could read this by herself. Unfortunately it was too difficult (there were quite a few Latin words!). I don't want to read the next one but I may have to. "

    " This was a solid fairy adventure for those who want fantasy fiction with the trappings of a fairy world. I liked the prospect of a fairy godmother lineage, but I just don't think it was adequately explored. "

About Jan Bozarth

Jan Bozarth was raised in an international family in Texas in the sixties, the daughter of a Cuban mother and a Welsh father. She danced in a ballet company at eleven, started a dream journal at thirteen, joined a surf club at sixteen, studied flower essences at eighteen, and went on to study music, art, and poetry in college. As a girl, she dreamed of a life that would weave these different interests together. Her dream came true when she grew up and had a big family and a music and writing career. Jan is now a grandmother and writes stories and songs for young people. She often works with her own grown-up children, who are musicians and artists in Austin, Texas. (Sometimes Jan is even the fairy godmother who encourages them to believe in their dreams!) Jan credits her own mother, Dora, with handing down her wisdom: dream big and never give up.
