tess held out her finger. She had barely touched the fairy’s hand when she found herself holding hands with the fairy and standing on the sill. “Oh, my goodness! I am as little as you.” Tess said, looking down at herself
“Come inside my palace,” said the fairy as she pulled on a crystal door knob. The hallway inside was enormous and blazing with lights of every color. With these words the adventure for Tess Renee begins.
