Description

The first title in a new series full of magic, charm, mischief and mayhem from Edwina Wyatt, author of the Magnolia Moon series, and Lauren O'Hara, co-creator of Frindelswylde.

Fur, Tip and Nug live in a chipped, China teapot at the bottom of the junkyard. They are messy, bossy and never eat their vegetables. With the help of a burping toad, a sleeping giant and a monstrous caterpillar, the junkyard fairies can find a way to fix just about anything.

Join them as they navigate life at the bottom of the heap, making rusty magic and turning trash into treasure.

Illustrated by Lauren OHara, this is a magical new series from the author of Magnolia Moon.
