It seems there’s an emergency and Eliza’s sought Witch Hazel’s urgent help! Although she’s ventured through the Fairy Door Diaries and met the Flower Fairies, after the wonder, disaster’s struck. While there has been so much to explore within this beautiful land, the fairy folk did not have time to warn Eliza of the dangers beyond the hedgerow. However, brave Poppy sought to rescue Eliza only to be felled by the curse of Wolfsbane and Belladonna! What’s more, their wicked words have the power to extract all the flowers’ scents and destroy the fairy friends Eliza’s made! Only Witch Hazel can help. Might her spells bring a rescue? Or could there be confusion alongside the arrival of the Demon Wind? Megan McDonald is best known within children’s books for her Judy Moody series and, more recently, Bunny and Clyde. Like those books, Fairy Door Diaries: Eliza and the Flower Fairies is beautifully plotted, while full of drama, discovery and magic. Furthermore, Lenny Wen’s brightly coloured illustrations are rich and lyrical.
