Small Persons With Wings - Ellen Booraem

Small Persons With Wings (They Hate To Be Called Fairies) by Ellen Booraem




I pulled this myself yesterday, (Darrell was out,) and ended up reading it yesterday as well.
I was kind of intrigued by the jacket description, but wasn't expecting too much.
About midway through I was a little nervous that the book wasn't going to have a conflict, but I was wrong, it was just a lot further into the book than most.

Short synopsis:

Mellie Turpin used to have a fairy small person with wings living in her bedroom, she proclaimed this to her kindergarten class, but when she tried to bring him in, he disappeared. For years she has never been able to live it down but gets her chance when her family moves away. But of course having a small person with wings isn't just a coincidence, its her families birthright. So moving only makes her small person with wings problem worse. They want their magic back from the Turpin family, but of course one small person with wings wants the power all to themselves.

This was a cute take on fairies. I had a hard time following the magic and what made it work and where it was from.
But sometimes I have a tendency to skip over or skim sections without realizing, and then it's too much trouble to reread because I'm not sure what I missed.
Other than that, which is my own fault, I really liked it.
The throw you for a loop part at the end wasn't too drastic, and it played out nicely.
