Just when you think faeries are all nice and sweet, along comes Agatha, and she is NO Tinkerbell!!! Remember when we were kids, collecting fireflies in jars?? Well this short story will definatley make you think twice about ever doing that again!!! Thomas had the "tables turned" on him doing that same exact thing. Who knew such small insects could be so nasty, mean and ruthless?? This was a fun, dark read, which leads us into the very scary mean world of the Faeflies, which I am VERY much lookin Just when you think faeries are all nice and sweet, along comes Agatha, and she is NO Tinkerbell!!!

Joseph Eastwood manages to use the preconceived notions of the reader against them. He uses a standard story and turn it upside down. This is a dark faerie tale and one with a lot of promise for the series! These are not nice Faeries and it is a dark story. But I really liked it. I think most will! WaAr

I love these little books and it is good to see the start of a good story and how it develops. These short stories are perfect for a quick read. They are one of those books where you think to yourself 'what happens next?' This author always makes the reader guess and never gives it away. I would love to see this book develop further.
