Junkyard Fairies : Fight Frost

The third title in the Junkyard Fairies series full of magic, charm, mischief and mayhem from Edwina Wyatt, author of the Magnolia Moon series, and Lauren O'Hara, co-creator of Frindelswylde.

Fur, Tip and Nug are junkyard fairies. They are messy, bossy and never eat their vegetables. Determined not to sleep through winter in their picnic basket home, the fairies fill their days with sled races, making junk soup and rescuing an abominable snowrat.

Join them as they navigate life in the chill of winter, wait for the thaw of spring, and learn about letting go.

A magical chapter book adventure series from the author of the Magnolia Moon series and illustrated by Lauren O’Hara.
