Series: Fairy Bell Sisters
Description: "Clara Bell needs to use her powers when she and Rowan, a gnome visiting Sheepskerry Island for the Valentine's Games, are faced with very serious trouble"--
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:
"McNamara . . . fills the pages with whimsical details of fairy life, and her knowing narration . . . gives the story its gentle warmth and humor." - Publishers Weekly, about Sylva and the Fairy Ball
"There's plenty to like in the fourth book of the Fairy Bell Sisters series, from the illustrated story with its hint of romance to the notion that the fairies in this idyllic community are gradually growing and changing. A must-read volume for the series' many fans." - Booklist
