Synopsis
A brand NEW magical tale from the author behind the best-selling picture book, The Witch's Cat and The Cooking Catastrophe! Welcome to the enchanted world of fairy friends, Petal and Nettle. Petal is planning a SPECIAL birthday surprise for her best fairy friend, Nettle. In an effort to be 'very thoughtful', she forgoes MAGIC in favour of doing it ALL herself - the hard way. When Petal finds EVERYTHING she needs just lying around, she can't believe her luck. Surely no one will mind her taking them without asking... will they? It's set to be an unforgettable birthday surprise... and not JUST for Nettle! A feel-good tale about friendship and why it's not a good idea to take other people's things without asking - an enchanted bedtime read. Ideal for fans of magical tales such as Julia Donaldson's The Princess and The Wizard, or Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom.
