Book Description

***A Monster's Paradise (Away From Whipplethorn Book Three) will be released late summer 2013***

Tiny fairies. Huge adventure.

Matilda Whipplethorn is about to get what she’s always wanted, and it’s a bad thing. Being a babysitter isn’t much of a dream for the average thirteen-year-old, but Matilda is anything but average. She’s half a centimeter tall, invisible to the human eye, and hearing-impaired. Her mother won’t let her forget any of that. So for Matilda, adventures are in short supply. Finally agreeing to let Matilda take some responsibility, her mother gives her a list of emergency procedures for babysitting. The only problem; humans aren’t on the list.

Minutes into her first job, humans appear in isolated Whipplethorn Manor. They tear her home, the fireplace mantel, right off the wall of Whipplethorn and Matilda’s afternoon babysitting job goes long term.

When the mantel ends up on display in an antique mall, the security that Matilda always took for granted is gone. She can lock the doors, but that doesn’t keep the kids in or spriggans and the fly-eating phalanx fairies out. Matilda’s up for an adventure, if only she could hear it coming.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun March 26, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
A lot of fun to read, plus there are good lessons on how to interact and cooperate with different people. I've always loved fairy stories, and this is not an insipid little tale. It's a darned good book; imaginative, fast-paced and well-written, with strong defined characters.

My grandchildren loved this book and so did I! A good family adventure with characters most of us can relate to. Buried in this story are some important life and relationship lessons about courage, responsibility, loyalty, and acceptance of the differences that make us who we are. Matilda, the very human fairy heroine, meets challenge after challenge in this artfully told, fast, exciting, and hard to put down story. Hope we will be treated to more!!
