Fairy Dust

Do you believe in fairies? Rosie does but her mum doesn't. Sometimes, though, real life is stranger than a fairy tale . . .

Rosie didn't really want to move to a tiny cottage by a loch on the isle of Skye. But the place is so beautiful, and her mum is so much happier here - Rosie just wishes Mum hadn't left Dad behind in London.

Then Rosie finds a tiny stripy sock in her bedroom, small enough for a mouse to wear. And out by the loch, she sees something out of the corner of her eye; it looks like a butterfly, or a small bird - only different. Rosie's always believed in fairies but even she can't believe what happens after she rescues one from the neighbour's cat. And Mum certainly doesn't believe Rosie's "tall tales" . . .
