Pixylations Joe Laudati

One prank too many. That's all it takes to get Faela, a mischievous pixy, nearly banished from the Faerie Kingdom. Whether tantalizing goblins, embellishing flowers, or enraging an entire Irish town with her magical mayhem, Faela can test the mettle of even the most patient fairy. Her friend Scuff warned her not to taunt the 'big-folk'. But what does a gnome know? Hauled before the High KIng, Faela is given a final chance to redeem herself: become 'house fairy' to the home of a widower blacksmith, and restore 'courage and joy' to Elsie, his timid daughter. Of course, no one knows that Elsie has the 'gifted sight', the ability to see fairies. Not even Scuff, whom Faela accidentally merges with the family dog! Awkward at first, the pixy draws on her wits to bond with the shy little girl. But Faela longs to experience love as a human, so when the handsomeex-beau of Elsie's older sister comes to call, she 'pixylates' the woman's body to pursue romance with him. Chaos ensues, as the personalities of fairy and girl collide! And then there's the Pooka, a fiendish shape-shifting goblin who will spare no wickedness to see Faela's mission fail. For the Pooka has claim over any banished pixy, and he plots to make Faela his bride.
