Newbery Medal winner Laura Amy Schlitz-New York Times best-selling author of Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! and A Drowned Maiden's Hair-creates a magnificent tale about a tiny night fairy who loses her wings and can no longer fly. As Flory the fledgling fairy soars through the dark sky, a ravenous bat bites off her wings. Injured yet determined to live, she's willing to do what it takes to survive-even if it means befriending a hungry squirrel and becoming a day fairy.

" I like this book because it is about fairies. I did not like it when a bat bite into Flora's wings but the rest were fine. I think you should buy one too! "
— Lotus, 2/22/2011 -
" A great read aloud for primary students as well as a read alone for young gifted. The fairy might be off-putting for boys but with numerous creatures like spiders and bats plus adventurous battles with swords will bring them in too. "
— Debbie, 2/19/2011 -
" Cute book, but not as good as other award winning children's books. "
