Brief description:
Margaret McNamara is the Christopher Award-winning author of more than two dozen books for young readers, including the Robin Hill School series. The Fairy Bell Sisters series is inspired not only by her love of the classic sisterhood novel Little Women but by her own experiences growing up with older sisters (and a baby brother). Margaret and her family live in New York City, but they spend part of their summer on an island in Maine very much like Sheepskerry Island.
Review Quotes:

"This short, illustrated chapter book should be just right for fairy fans who enjoy a bit of adventure as well as a cozy setting." - Booklist
