Downunder - Alice Hare - Bog

In the undergrowth of the Australian bush, well hidden, live eight different tribes of fairies. Like the fairies of other lands, they have survived for millennia. The role of these elusive creatures is to keep the balance of nature, protecting the flowers that seed our planet. Fairies are peaceful creatures who understand the precious value of plants. They are themselves vegetarians, and do not hurt or eat other living creatures. Each tribe of fairies has its own magical abilities. Pearl fairies can sing melody spells. Fire fairies throw sparks and must learn as youngsters to control fire. Shadow fairies are incredibly fast. This story follows the lives of a family of fairies whose fortunes suddenly change, forcing them to become leaders in their Kingdom. Fairy potions and spells combine with love, courage and loyalty to guide the fairies to their destiny as not only protectors of nature but of the entire fairy Kingdom. Together, this fairy family must combine their talents to face an evil enemy. They must adapt and fight for their very survival.
