Sorry I didn't get this up earlier. I've had a hard time choosing the book this month. There are SO many I want to read! But, I'm sure this is going to be a busy month for everyone, so I picked an easy read that we can all handle. Plus, if you have older kids, you could multi-task and read it to/with them!
The book is: "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg" by Gail Carson Levine. Here's part of the amazon.com review: "Prilla is a brand new fairy, born of a baby's laugh. Upon her arrival to Neverland, she is dismayed to discover she has no talent for any of the fairy avocations. Tinker Bell takes Prilla to see Mother Dove, whose single blue egg holds the secret of the island's eternal youth. But before the wise bird can advise Prilla, Neverland is shaken by a terrible hurricane. Mother Dove is thrown off her nest, and the precious egg is shattered. Immediately, Neverland folk begin to age. The island's only hope is for some brave fairies to take the egg pieces to Kyto the dragon and ask him to restore it with his fiery breath. But first, the fairies must collect treasures with which to bribe the evil dragon. Mother Dove chooses Prilla to be part of the fairy team to undertake the quest for the egg. Can one little no-talent fairy help save Neverland from certain doom? While Fairy Dust is unabashedly based on Disney's Peter Pan, Levine's companion version feels wonderfully fresh and original."
