Horn Book Review

Jessie, whose grandmother is secretly queen of the fairy realm, meets some pixies on her birthday and has a grand time with them, pixie-size, until a wind blows her away; a parrot and some rainbow fairies help her get home. Although less substantial than other titles in this series, the book's compact plot and realistic, soft-edged black-and-white art will appeal to young readers.
