From Gail Carson Levine, author of the bestseller ELLA ENCHANTED, comes the story of Prilla, a newly born fairy and the latest resident of Fairy Haven on the magical, ever-changing island of Neverland. But Prilla lacks the traditional fairy qualities, and seems more like a Clumsy (a human) than a proper fairy. To make matters worse, she's the first fairy to not know her special talent, like flying, or sewing, or working with animals. However, Prilla soon finds herself enmeshed in a fight to save the entire population of Neverland. Accompanied by Disneyesque, full-color illustrations.

Publisher's Note
Fairy Haven is abuzz with news about its latest arrival, Prilla. It's bad enough that she has no idea what her special talent is, but some of her behavior is remarkably, well, human. Prilla is heartbroken that she does not seem to fit in. She desperately needs help from Mother Dove, the most important creature in Neverland, who created and cares for the magical egg that prevents all who live in Neverland from growing old and dying. But tragedy strikes as the island is hit by a hurricane, and the Never egg is destroyed. Mother Dove must pick three fairies to set out on a dangerous quest to repair the egg. She chooses Rani, the best water-talent fairy; Vidia, the most selfish, but fastest fast-flying-talent fairy; and, to everyone's surprise-Prilla. The three embark on a journey filled with danger, sacrifice, and adventure. The fate of Neverland-and their world as they know it-rests on their shoulders. Tinker Bell and the other residents of Fairy Haven do not know what to make of Prilla, the new fairy who is quite strange, clumsy, and seemingly talentless, but when Never Land is in danger, Prilla's talent emerges, in this enchanting tale that features a four-page gatefold panorama of Never Land. Tinker Bell and the other residents of Fairy Haven do not know what to make of Prilla, the new fairy who is quite strange, clumsy, and seemingly talentless, but when Never Land is in danger, Prilla's talent emerges.
