Review Quotes:
"I loved Society Of The Sentinelia where we first meet Zahra, a sprite-like tween no bigger than a loblolly pinecone. The adventure continues in Blind Fairy. Author Micki Bare has woven magical fantasy into a contemporary natural world, and the result is an enchanting tale that will captivate both young readers and adults. I'm eager to read more of the Uwharries series." - Melanie Sue Bowles, author of Liberty Biscuit
