From Publishers Weekly
From the author of The Indian in the Cupboard and its sequel comes a story of earthly enchantment. When Tiki, a fairy, is "earthed" on Jan's human foot, both are terrified. But because Jan, unlike most adults, believes in fairies, the two become friends. When Tiki learns that Jan is sad because she and her husband Charles can't have children, the flighty fairy performs a bit of forbidden magic. Her act provokes the wrath of the wicked Fairy Queen, but Jan's daughter Bindi grows up to be a healthy eight-year-old, receiving magic presents every year from Tiki. Then the Fairy Queen exacts her revenge on the family, and it is only through the combined powers of humans and fairies that the evil ruler is defeated forever. Told in the grand fashion of early 20th century fairy tales, Banks's story is a comfortable, old-fashioned read (with numerous witty asides) about a naughty but courageous fairy and her loving mortal friends. Illustrations not seen by PW. Ages 10-up.

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5 Jan and Charlie long for a child but are unable to have one. In the garden, Jan meets Tiki, an unusual, spirited fairy who prefers jeans to pink frills and converses with Jan in spite of the anti-person rules of the tyrannical Fairy Queen. Tiki decides to use her powers to help Jan. However, she mixes up the requests for brown hair and blue eyes and must appeal to the Queen for more power. The Queen punishes Tiki by locking her in a hornets' nest. Thus begins a tale of magic, suspense, and adventure. The baby, Bindi, is born with 20 magic blue hairs at the nape of her neck, but the Fairy Queen and her evil hornet henchmen are an ever-present threat. Banks has woven yet another successful fantasy. Her management of detail and character create a tense atmosphere. The magical elements are consistent throughout, and the descriptions of the Queen and the hornets are realistically frightening. As a result, the suspense builds to a tingling climax that resolves in a satisfying conclusion. A compelling fantasy that will appeal to children, whether read aloud or alone. Marion B. Hanes, New York Public Library
