“In Jana Bauer’s adorable novel-in-stories, Scary Fairy in Wicked Wood, a selfish pixie learns to cooperate with the woodland creatures of her new home instead of only looking out for herself. Reminiscent of classic children’s books, Bauer’s tales put strong-willed characters into whimsical situations to teach moral lessons . . . scenarios explore important concepts, as of consent, the spread of rumors, the importance of good manners, rising above an initial desire for revenge, and overcoming misunderstandings . . . The nostalgic Scary Fairy in Wicked Wood conveys timeless wisdom through charming children’s fantasy stories.” – Foreword Reviews, starred review
