Illustrated by
Brian Ajhar.
Bernice Sparklestein, Fairy Godmother, has lost her magic power, so Edith B. Cuspid, Tooth Fairy Second Class, endeavors to find her friend a new calling: fairy duster, snowflake creator--whatever. The humorous story is abetted by comic illustrations. Its two mature protagonists, who call to mind a pair of Golden Girls, are more attuned to adult, rather than child, concerns.
