The Seal Island Seven

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Tricia Tusa. After finding their "fairy houses" destroyed, Pru and her friends, who live on a small island off the Maine coast, search for the perpetrator. They discover that some of the townsfolk think that fairy houses clutter up the woods and want to abolish the tradition. Pru helps develop a compromise so that kids can keep building the houses. Although the plot is anticlimactic, the characters, dialogue, and loose line drawings are lively.
