"Jack had gotten me thinking about why we didn't ever see fairies in the woods. I figured something ate them."
-- The Well and the Mine by Gin Phillips (Discover Award winner; introduction by Fannie Flagg; published by the super cool Hawthorne Books & Literary Arts).
This is an excellent book. It's a great story, rips right along, includes all the life-lessons of a Hallmark made-for-tv movie, but has none of the schmaltz. Unless it falls off dramatically in the last third, this has all the makings of a new classic -- perfect for a high school English class.
