The Pixie and the Professor

By Jeanie Nicholson

Meg the pixie never had much interest in drab, boring humans; that is, until she spies skin of gleaming brass peeking out from beneath the sleeve of reclusive inventor Phineas Farnsworth. Her curiosity sufficiently piqued, Meg follows Phineas to his home, where an unfortunate encounter with his cat leaves her forever changed -- both inside and out. A charming fairytale with a gearpunk edge, The Pixie and the Professor is a tale of selflessness, sacrifice and loyalty, a sweet love story suitable for all ages.

So of course she followed him.

He lived in a small cottage at the edge of the wood, well outside of town.  The house had a lovely garden, but it was the things inside that held her interest. Through the window she spied even more curiosities and wonders: birds and butterflies and mice and other small, delicate creatures made of
