What the Dickens?

by Gregory Maguire

Think you are too old to read a story about fairies? Try this one...
During a storm that separated parents from children, an older cousin keeps their spirits up by telling a story about an orphaned “skibberee”, aka tooth fairy, named What-the-Dickens. What-the-Dickens has no idea of his species’ calling until he comes upon a colony of fairies in a hollowed out tree. He learns about teeth, skittling creatures and how to be a proper skibberee…and more importantly, What-the-Dickens finds a home.
