On cover: A mud fairy, an extraordinary girl, an a castle in peril
A Caitlyn Dlouhy Book
Summary: A glass kingdom is no place for a Mud Fairy. Bloom and her mud fairy magic might be able to turn weeds into flowers and spin sand into glass, but the people of the kingdom ceaselessly complain about the trails of dirt and puddles of mud that seem to follow her every step, and finally they cast her out. But when the glass castle begins to crack, the King and Queen in a panic search for the long-banished fairy, but they can't find Bloom anywhere. Desperate to save their home, they send the most ordinary girl named Genevieve to coax any worthy fairy to come and save the kingdom. Genevieve finds Bloom but it will take the two girls working together, along with a mighty dollop of self-confidence - and some very messy hands - to accomplish the extraordinary. (Publisher)
