When Mellie Turpin was in kindergarten she had a fairy friend named Fidius. Only they don’t like being called “fairies” they are “Small Persons with Wings” and they speak Latin. But when Mellie tried to take Fidius to school for show-and-tell he got mad and left. When she showed up at school without a fairy her classmates call her “Fairy Fat.” Not very nice, right? The bullying gets so bad that Mellie herself even starts to believe that Fidius never existed.
This continues for years until the summer after 7th grade when Mellie and her parents receive a phone call that her Grand-père had passed away and they have inherited his Inn. They move to away, far from the mean classmates and people who called her “fairy fat.” Mellie is excited to make a new life for herself and is just about ready to settle to the hard work of cleaning the Inn with her parents when what do they uncover but another Small Person With Wings.
This starts all the Turpins on a great adventure involving a whole colony of Small Persons, a missing magical ring, a grandfather clock that doesn’t tell time, and a walking store front mannequin that enchants men. All the Turpin’s lives are at stake until Mellie can come up with a plan to save them.
What I liked most about Small Persons with Wings is how Mellie grows into her grandeur and makes a few real friends along the way. Told entirely in her voice this fun read gets more exciting with each chapter as more secrets of magic are reviled.
Just a few weeks of school are left! Time to get into the mood of summer with a fast paced fun book full of adventure, magic, and fun.
