Synopsis
From the internationally bestselling author of the Judy Moody and Stink series comes the first in a sparkling series about a girl whose love for magic and fairy folk takes her on enchanting adventures.
Stepping through a teeny-tiny door under the stairs, Eliza is transported to a world with a tangerine sun and lemon-pudding sky, a place where flower fairies perch on every bloom. But when Eliza tries to pick a strangely beautiful flower from beyond the hedgerow, things soon go terribly awry. Eliza accidentally awakens the Demon Wind and a wicked witches' curse. With the fairies and their flowers in danger of fading, Eliza must go on a quest to save her friends. But can she make it in time?
