Wands and Wings
Wands and Wings
Jo Malizia
In this magical debut book, Jo Malizia weaves a story of otherworldly adventure.
How does a 12-year-old girl manage life with four sisters, middle school, and being Queen of The Fairy Realm?
Tia Faylinn comes from a long line of Fairy Queens. She and her two younger sisters live a magical life between Earth and The Fairy Realm. But Tia's reign is about to come to an end because she will soon turn 13 - the age a Fairy Queen loses her wand and wings and all knowledge of the Fairies to become fully human.
However, Tia's final days as Queen are not very enchanting. A split that occurred in The Fairy Kingdom 400 years ago produced a bitter descendant who has returned to reclaim the throne.
Queen Tia must now convince her two older teenage sisters to remember they were once Fairies so all five Faylinn sisters can return to The Realm.
The girls must rely on their magic, wits, and cheerleading skills to battle the evil queen, Neferria.
It's a battle that affects Wishing Stars, Fairy Tales, the Birthday Wishes Bureau, the Department of Fairy Godmothers, and the very essence of life on Earth.
