April Underhill, seven-year-old tooth fairy, gets a call on her cell phone. This is it! Her first tooth collection. April and her little sister, Esme, must convince Mom and Dad to let them take on the task all by themselves. But soon, two tiny fairies fly off into the night, over a highway of thundering eighteen-wheelers, eager to prove how grown up they can be. But when their boy whose tooth they're fetching starts to wake up, the little fairies know they can always call on Mom for a little advice!
As always, the charm is in the visual details: the pony-tailed, winged dad in baggy jeans; the snug fairy house with teeth dangling from the rafters like wind chimes. Once again, Bob Graham has crafted a tale of heartwarming adventure, magical yet very real.
"Courage, pluck, and derring-do guide them most of the way — but a quick text message from Mommy ensures that the girls add the proper finishing touch to the job. Graham excels at blending nostalgic family stories with a contemporary sensibility.... A mix of spot art, comic panels, and spreads invite readers into this magical but never truly unfamiliar world." — Publishers Weekly
