Product Description
A Fter Willa's parents' divorce, Willa and her mom find themselves starting fresh in the country town of Plunkit. Catching a glimpse of a sparkle by the creek and in the old woods, Willa knows there's something unusual about her new surroundings. And her older-than-old neighbor, Hazel Wicket, has an amusing story about an imagined family of tiny people that inhabit a tree stump. Willa knows there's no such thing as fairies, but when she spots more and more oddities, she can't stop wondering if there's some truth behind Hazel's curious tales of the fairies called Nutfolk. . . .

• A Bore Of A Book 26 May, 2007
My daughter and I read this book and we yawned the entire way. I did feel it was best to finish it, and that we did. Now coming off of the Spiderwick Chronicles, how can this book compare? Not well at all.
I bought this book for my daughter because she loves fairies. She kept asking me just when they were going to come out. That was a very good question and I also wanted to know the answer.
This book's story line could have been told without the advertisement of fairies.
The book promises one thing and doesn't deliver. A slow-paced life that is parallel to that of the reader is does well.

• A Refreshing Escape 06 June, 2007
I purchased this book for my 8 year old niece and decided I'd read it first to decide if it was good enough. It started out making me wonder if I should introduce the topic of divorce through this book to her, especially since the mother just decides to leave the marriage because she had married young. However, as I got farther into the book, I started realizing how much I looked forward each evening to reading another chapter or two. It's so refreshing to find a new children's book that is intelligently written with wonderful desciptive writing. This book is special to me now, and I can't wait for my niece to read it.

• The Fairies Of Nutfolk Wood 24 November, 2008
Great story. Combines a mixture of magic, a little mystery, a touch of wonder, and the realities of dealing with a difficult situation like divorce.

• Great Book For Young Readers 27 January, 2007
My 9 year old daughter and I just finished reading this book and we both really liked it. Often it is hard to find books that are fitting for her reading level, but this one fits the bill. She enjoys books about fairies. We both enjoyed that the fairies in this book were woodsy and a little different from the norm.

• A Book Written With An Artist's Perspective 17 November, 2008
I read this book with my 7yo daughter and, upon completing it, she gave a high compliment: "Did the author write more?" I found the author's home page and was not surprised that she considered herself an artist first. The book provides wonderful visual images of all kinds, and does so in a natural way that enhances the story, rather than distracts from it.
Though fairies are a key element of the book, the strength of the book are the human relationships that the central figure of the book develops. They also occur in a very natural way.
As a trivial footnote, there seemed to be a minor inconsistency that an editor should have caught. The story features a semi-remote rural setting with no electricity or modern convenience, except for propane fuel. However, the house has a refrigerator, and ice is available during a hot summer. A curious oddity.
