Description: Toots can't remember her mother, but her father has never been able to forget. Since her death, he's spent more and more time immersed in his stamp collection, and less and less time with Toots. It is on one particularly lonely afternoon that Toots first sees a small, pudgy fairy walking across the living room ceiling. Before she knows what's happened, Toots finds herself reduced to the size of a mouse in an upside-down world where hardworking fairies protect the house against evil sprites and unctuous goblins. Toots must battle with good and evil, both outside and inside herself, before finding her way back down to earth and renewing her love for her widowed dad. Carol Hughes makes a dazzling debut with this rare, special book that combines fantasy and adventure with the real, everyday issues of love and loss. Here is a magical middle-grade novel that children -- and parents -- will come back to again and again.
