Synopsis

Everyone knows grown-ups never get to see fairies -- they don't even believe in them. But one day Jan, a grown-up, was sitting in her garden feeling sad when suddenly discovered that fairies can be very real -- and quite extraordinary... Tiki knew she'd be taking a terrible chance if she defied the Fairy Queen and used her power to help a human, but Jan was crying because she wanted so much to have a baby. Tiki, who was the kind of fairy who didn't always obey her queen, just had to do something... Soon, Jan's dream comes true, and she and her husband have a wonderful little baby girl. But Tiki has angered the queen and now she and her human friends are up against the dark and chilling fury of a leader who will not hestitate to unleash her most terrifying powers against them.

From the Back Cover:

Fairies are supposed to love their Queen and obey her every rule. That is, until they decide to do otherwise!

When Tiki, the fairy, meets Jan, she's the first grown-up she's ever spoken to and when she sees that she's unhappy, she knows just how to magic up a solution...

But the Fairy Queen is all-powerful, and Jan discovers that Tiki is being cruelly punished for being so naughty. How can she free her fairy rebel from the wicked powers of the Tyrant Queen?

From the world-famous author of 'The Indian in the Cupboard'
