Book preview

Inc.

As we watch the boys, the wind picks up, making the fern lie flat, exposing us. We gasp and make a dash for the closest tree. Behind it, we huddle together.

"Boogles! A branch just hit me," Weedy says.

The sky turns black. Wind swirls dust and leaves, and spits pebbles at us. This is not good. We have to get going now or else our payback will get blown away.

Let’s go! I scream and lead the group from behind the tree, but the wind makes it hard for us to move forward.

Rose and Lilly grab hands as they run, screaming, toward the creek. Lacey stumbles over a fallen twig, landing flat and hitting her face hard on the ground. When she doesn’t move, I race to her as sand and pine needles prick my skin.

I help Lacey to her feet. Luckily, she has only a few cuts on her face. A tiny bit of blood streaks down her forehead. She looks at me. Fear is bright in her eyes. She needs help. We all need help. I peer toward the creek. The boys are still there, frantically trying to lift the bag full of stones.

Shouting a warning and waving my arms, I hurry to the creek, trying to get their attention. Finally, Dusty sees me. He looks as if he’s been caught with his hand in the pixie jar.

I point to the sky and wave them to come our way. Rain starts to fall. Dusty pulls Moss from the creek. Fat drops of water pelt my head and wings as I wait for the boys to reach me.

It must be a twisty! Dusty screams. We better find shelter.

Praise for Elaine Kaye’s BAD FAIRY

"BAD FAIRY is a true fairy adventure. This story takes a different approach to show the aftermath of a tornado in a fairy’s perspective. While following Thistle, kids are taught about the importance of rules and to not judge others. Thistle is a pure delight with her wit and charm as a so-called bad fairy."

Chapter One

Trouble Starts

School. What a bore! Every day I, Thistle Greenbud, have to flit to Fern School to learn how to be a good fairy. I’m supposed to pay attention to the lessons, because that’s what a good fairy does, but try not to become bored while listening to Miss Babiesbreath. Just you try! You’d be as bad at it as I am. Miss Babiesbreath is standing before my class, also known as Level A, or average. Boogles! I’m not average. At least I’m not in Level F, though. Level F stands for Fairy Failure.

Dusty and Moss, the worst fairies in class, had been in Level F for a year, but now they’re back in my class. I’m not too happy about this. I mean, to be in the same level as Dusty and Moss? They like to cause trouble with me, and when I try to get even, I’m the one who gets caught. That’s how I’ve gotten the nickname Bad Fairy.

My parents want me to be in Level E for Excellence. I guess I better start paying attention to get there. I sit up straighter on my mushroom chair and fold my hands on my pinecone
