Enid has never fit in with kids her age. They don’t speak the way she does, and they never get accused of cheating by teachers who refuse to believe Enid, and not an adult, writes at such an adult level. They’re not like Enid at all.

So, Enid is writing a book on how to see the faeries. But she doesn’t know if she can get it written before the faeries complete ruin her life. If only she can trap one …
