Booklist: Fairy Nice

[slayground]

If a book has a fairy on the cover, chances are I'll pick it up and read the plot summary. If it sounds good, I have to read the book. My two favorite fictional fairies - say that ten times fast - are Tinker Bell from Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie and Tiki from The Fairy Rebel by Lynne Reid Banks. The following titles are fairy nice.
