Eight-year-old Stella Wolfe lives in a world where extraordinary magic is ordinary. But her life is far from a fairy tale. With skin that can heal from any injury, Stella always looks like the perfect daughter. But appearances can be deceiving, and even her visions of the future can’t guarantee her a starring role in the upcoming ballet recital. Her mindwalking mother has high expectations, and the competition is deadly.Luckily, Grandma’s house always has sweet-smelling gingerbread, chairs that fit just right, and a tranquil forest complete with fairy rings only a step through the back gate. But in this world, the fairies use pliers and the goblins don’t always come from the forest. [Written for the Royal Road Magazine]
