Faerie Tales from the White Forest

For those who enjoy fantasy adventure, Faerie Tales from the White Forest offers a new twist on the traditional faerie tales so loved by young readers.

From devastating curses to death-defying quests, Water Faerie Brigitta and her growing collective of misfit friends face greater and greater challenges when destiny calls upon them to “make the balance right again” after the Great World Cry has left their world in elemental chaos.

What people are saying about the Faerie Tales from the White Forest books:

A wild and wonderful ride... There are talking plants and floating eyeballs and powerful potions, but the heart of the magic is in the story of an ordinary girl who must take extraordinary risks to save her people.
Sara Nickerson, author, How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found

. . . whimsical and imaginative . . . I had to keep reading and reading because my own world disappeared into Brigitta’s and I wanted to stay in hers.
Jennette McCurdy, co-star of Nickelodeon’s iCarly

A fabulous – can’t put it down – lost in a fantasy world – read.
David Ford, former publisher at Little, Brown Books

One thing that excites me about offering this as a book for a class is the idea of fate and destiny. I think it’s an important topic for kids to think about. It’s a fascinating and fun story… a great book to have as a book dialogue.
Andy Smallman, Director, Puget Sound Community School

A charming, magical journey...
Cassandra Rose Clarke, Author, The Assassin's Curse series

Dinsmore weaves a coming of age story through a world that is both fantastic and believable.

Brigitta is an engaging heroine, resourceful and just arrogant enough to get herself into interesting trouble.
