Don't read this book if you want a light hearted story filled with fluffy fairies and rainbow coloured unicorns, dancing across the sky while plucking harps and sprinkling magic dust. This is a fairytale of a different kind. There is nothing 'typically fairy' about Mary but when she is unexpectedly chosen for a dangerous journey across forbidden lands to retrieve the ancient Maker Stone, she discovers that being different can be your greatest ally and your greatest strength. Join Mary, Spits and Stinks - with some nasty rat-lizard type things, ant-lions, shreeks and other scary stuff - for an adventure of self discovery, friendship and just plain weirdness.
