Have you ever wondered where fairies get their fairy dust? Lilly and Boris are two mischievous young fairies who leave their home in the mushroom patch without permission. Boris has flown too fast and tumbles to the forest floor, where he injures his ankle and bends his wing. Meanwhile, the fairy dorm monitor realizes the naughty little fairies are missing and organizes a search party. Once the two are escorted safely back home, Boris is admitted into the infirmary and Lilly is put to bed. To punish them, Lilly and Boris are put to work for a few days in the fairy dust factory. The factory is an incredible place, producing more fairy dust than any other. Lilly and Boris witness the magic of fairy dust coming to life as they watch it dance and sparkle in the large storage barrels. The two learn a valuable lesson about this wonderful dust that they have always taken for granted and vow to never be so careless with it again. Author Amanda M.

Born in England, Thrasher moved to Fort Worth, Texas, when she was 14 and still lives there. She has written other children's books and is now working on a novel.
