Description

Readers of Disney Fairies, The Never Girls, and Rainbow Magic will absolutely love the fifth book in the Fairy Bell Sisters series by Margaret McNamara, a delightful chapter-book series about Tinker Bell's little sisters for kids ages 6-10.

Springtime means spring-cleaning for the fairies of Sheepskerry Island. It also means getting to search for treasure in the jumble pile—a giant collection of unwanted items outside Queen Mab's palace. When Sylva Bell and her best friend, Poppy Flower, find Queen Mab's old fairy dollhouse in the pile, they are overjoyed! But as the two friends play with it, they start to unlock its secrets and discover its special magic—a magic that has a history of putting friendships to the test.


  • Best Friends Tested: When Sylva and Poppy find a magical dollhouse, they think it's the best treasure ever. But its secrets might just tear their perfect friendship apart.
  • A Touch of Magic: Discover the wonder of Sheepskerry Island when a tiny doll kitten suddenly becomes a real, live pet! But who does she belong to?
  • Sweet Sisterhood: Meet Tinker Bell's charming little sisters—Clara, Rosy, Goldie, Sylva, and baby Squeak! They always pull together, especially when one of them is in trouble.
  • An Unexpected Adventure: A kitten is in danger! Sylva and Poppy must put aside their differences to face down bumbling pirates and rescue their new friend.

About the author(s)

Margaret McNamara is the Christopher Award-winning author of more than two dozen books for young readers, including the Robin Hill School series. The Fairy Bell Sisters series is inspired not only by her love of the classic sisterhood novel Little Women but by her own experiences growing up with older sisters (and a baby brother). Margaret and her family live in New York City, but they spend part of their summer on an island in Maine very much like Sheepskerry Island.
