Illustrated by
Katie May.
Philippa's sorrow over her friend moving away attracts the fairies' attention. They send Daisy, a fairy with a bad attitude, who comes offering three wishes. Kessler's light tone, imaginative fairy-world details, and gentle development of the theme of empathy work well together in this realistic school story with a magical twist.
