"Fairy dust is very useful. I use it to turn oatmeal into cake." In the accompanying illustration, a tiara-adorned girl piles sugar on her breakfast, showing off one of her many magical fairy tricks. While she's not as rude as her literary cousin, David (No, David!), fans will still enjoy the basic goodness, exuberance, and wild imagination of Shannon's latest character.
