*~* Middle Grade Fairy Tale *~* My name is Drusinella, and I'm a fairy. Everyone has a hobby. Mine is turning Princes into frogs. I know what you're thinking. "But you're a fairy! Fairies are supposed to grant wishes, and spread happiness!" Boo. Happiness is for Princesses. I was banished from Fairyland for my obscure hobby, so you'll imagine my surprise when I received an invitation to a fairy party from my old acquaintance, Soflee! My only friend, Alfrigg the bird, flew me back home, which ended in absolute disaster when I found out the Fairy Queen had no intention of letting me come back home unless I give up my frog hobby (like THAT will happen!). To make matters worse, a stupid princess saved my life, so now I have to grant her deepest wish, which is, of course, true love (ugh, that is so gross). This has to be the lamest adventure EVER. Ever so Sarcastically and Sincerely, Drusinella
A fairy banished for her hobby of turning princes into frogs must grant a princess's wish for true love to return home. Drusinella, a fairy with a penchant for amphibian transformations, finds herself exiled from Fairyland. Her only hope of returning is to fulfill the wish of a princess she despises: finding true love. This quest is complicated by her own sarcastic nature and the Fairy Queen's demand that she abandon her peculiar hobby.
This middle-grade fairy tale, told from the perspective of a decidedly un-princess-like fairy, offers a humorous twist on traditional fantasy tropes. The narrative voice of Drusinella, who prefers turning princes into frogs to granting wishes, promises a sarcastic and unconventional adventure. The premise sets up a conflict between Drusinella's grumpy nature and the saccharine requirement of granting a wish for true love, suggesting a story that subverts expectations of the genre. The inclusion of a bird companion, Alfrigg, and an old acquaintance, Soflee, hints at a cast of characters that will interact with Drusinella's unique brand of fairy magic.
