Piper Green and the Fairy Tree

Piper Green and the Fairy Tree

From award-winning author Ellen Potter comes a charming new chapter book series where kids, lobster boats, and a hint of magic are part of everyday life.
Â
There are three things you should know about Piper Green:
1. She always says whatâ€™s on her mind (even when she probably shouldnâ€™t).
2. She rides a lobster boat to school.
3. There is a Fairy Tree in her front yard.
Â
Life on an island in Maine is always interesting. But when a new teacher starts at Piperâ€™s schoolâ€”and doesnâ€™t appreciate the special, um, accessory that Piper has decided to wearâ€”there may be trouble on the horizon. Then Piper discovers the Fairy Tree in her front yard. Is the Fairy Tree really magic? And can it fix Piperâ€™s problems?

â˜…â€œSkillfully blending humor, pathos, and warmth with an atmospheric setting, Potter has created an honest, empathic slice-of-life story, laced with a touch of magic. Piper has a winning combination of stubbornness, loyalty, and independence, which Leng ably portrays in her loosely inked, gently humorous artwork.â€

Â
â€œPiper is brave and tough on the surface, and her sense of loss lies at the heart of the conflict. Written with humor as well as pathos, the first-person text shows her confused emotions and her resiliency as well. An appealing debut for the series.â€ â€”Booklist
Â
â€œPotter puts her own stamp on the spunky-quirky-stubborn girl story. . . . A satisfying, accessible, funny early chapter book.â€ â€”The Horn Book
