Overview

As she flew toward home from Rufus and Amathyst's place, where her dragon friends were having a working bee, the teenage fairy, Sorilla Rosewater, looked down at the ground and was shocked to find that the road below had vanished, as had all other familiar landmarks. Quickly lifting her head up the fairy's worried eyes peered into the western sun as it began to sink behind the Wild Tree Mountain Range. At least the mountains looked the same as they always did. In this second tale of Tildale Sorilla has to cope with a new and very peculiar sort of creature. She also responds to a potentially catastrophic situation. The town of Tildale is in peril and the young fairy puts her own life in danger in an attempt to save another. A very different sort of creature suddenly arrived in the town and in vastly different ways these two strangers affect the lives of everyone in Tildale.

Author Information

Having loved so many of the stories she grew up with, stories such as The Wind in the Willows, Phillipa Carmody has begun a series of fantasy books for children. The personalities are universal and not the traditional stereotypes of creatures such as dragons, fairies, centaurs, cyclopes and unicorns. Adventure, co-operation, action, humour and the intricacies of human-like behaviour fill her entertaining tales. Her novels are designed to encourage reading with wide spacing, which does not overwhelm a young reader and high-quality paper to enhance the enjoyment of a physical book.Phillipa believes that the ordinary details of people's lives and their interactions are ultimately more captivating than the spectacles of dramatic actions and fantastic scenes, though her tales certainly do include these. She studied literature, history and philosophy in her B.A. (Hons), worked as a director in local theatre, travelled widely and strived to raise her children and their variety of pets in a rich world of possibilities, all of which she draws on in her imaginative stories.Phillipa is a member of the Children's Book Council of Australia.
