by Marian Rakestraw, Dave Burns (Editor)

Overview

There are fairies. Someone has a tail. Must be a fairytale.

Rowan Finnegan's father is currently in jail for stabbing a police cruiser 14 times with a sword. This is just another example of what makes her family so nerve-wracking. Her father and three extraordinary aunts are fairies, but if the townspeople of Fairhaven, Oregon, find out the truth Rowan can only imagine that it will end in torches and pitchforks. Protecting her family's secrets while surviving eighth grade is all Rowan can think about until a new danger threatens her family and her town.
