<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Piper's older brother leaves Peek-A-Book Island and Piper refuses to take off his old earmuffs, no matter what. Things are going from bad to worse--until she discovers The Fairy Tree"-- <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>From award-winning author Ellen Potter comes a charming new chapter book series where kids, lobster boats, and a hint of magic are part of everyday life.</b> <p/> There are three things you should know about Piper Green: <br> 1. She always says what's on her mind (even when she probably shouldn't).<br> 2. She rides a lobster boat to school.<br> 3. There is a Fairy Tree in her front yard. <p/> Life on an island in Maine is always interesting. But when a new teacher starts at Piper's school--and doesn't appreciate the special, um, accessory that Piper has decided to wear--there may be trouble on the horizon. Then Piper discovers the Fairy Tree in her front yard. Is the Fairy Tree really magic? And can it fix Piper's problems? <p/>★"Skillfully blending humor, pathos, and warmth with an atmospheric setting, Potter has created an honest, empathic slice-of-life story, laced with a touch of magic. Piper has a winning combination of stubbornness, loyalty, and independence, which Leng ably portrays in her loosely inked, gently humorous artwork." <br> --<i>Publishers Weekly, </i> starred review <p/> "With its intriguing setting, sympathetic characters, and hint of magic, this new chapter-book series should charm fledgling readers." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br> <i> </i><br> "Piper is brave and tough on the surface, and her sense of loss lies at the heart of the conflict. Written with humor as well as pathos, the first-person text shows her confused emotions and her resiliency as well. An appealing debut for the series." --<i>Booklist</i><br> <i> </i><br> "Potter puts her own stamp on the spunky-quirky-stubborn girl story. . . . A satisfying, accessible, funny early chapter book." --<i>The Horn Book</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Skillfully blending humor, pathos, and warmth with an atmospheric setting, Potter has created an honest, empathic slice-of-life story, laced with a touch of magic." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> starred review <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Although she doesn't ride a lobster boat to work, Ellen Potter can look out her window and see islands, just like the one Piper lives on.
