      GLITTERWINGS ACADEMY - Titania Woods

      Christmas Fairy

      111411568

      Hello, fairy fans!

      My name’s Twink and I go to Glitterwings Academy, the most amazing school you could possibly imagine. It’s a magical school, located in an oak tree in a glade of flowers, and it’s where we fairies learn how to fly, use fairy dust and care for animals. If this sounds like your kind of place, you’ll love reading about the adventures my friends and I have at Glitterwings Academy. And once you’ve finished this story, turn to the very back for fun fairy activities, and to see all my glimmery Glitterwings Academy books.

      The festive story you’re about to read takes place during the winter holidays, when I met humans, tasted chocolate and discovered the magic of Christmas for the very first time. I hope you find it just as exciting as I did.

      Lots of love,

      Twink x

      Twink’s Tracing Challenge

      Twink’s Festive Treats

      Chapter One

      Twink Flutterby sat on the roof of her parents’ cosy woodland stump and sighed happily. Her home was the best place in the world to spend the winter holidays! Especially when her best friend, Bimi Bluebell, was there as well. The two fairies smiled at each other.

      ‘It’s so beautiful here!’ exclaimed Bimi. Looking around her, Twink had to agree. The fields and nearby woods all sparkled with frost, as if they were coated with diamond dust.

      Already the two girls had packed a month’s worth of fun into the week they’d been at Twink’s: skating on the frozen brook with Teena, Twink’s younger sister; making elaborate snow-fairies; sitting up late to hear Twink’s parents tell stories – and eating lots of delicious honey cake!

      ‘You know, it’s funny,’ said Twink thoughtfully. ‘It’s been such great hols, but I’m really missing Glitterwings.’ The giant oak tree that housed Glitterwings Academy felt like home now.

      ‘Me too,’ said Bimi, nodding. ‘But it won’t be long before – oh!’ She jumped up and rubbed her arm. ‘Something hit me!’

      Twink peered over the edge of the roof. ‘Not something – someone!’ she said grimly. Down below, Teena was perched on Brownie, the Flutterby family’s mouse. Her arm was just stretched back to throw another snowball.

      ‘Teena, stop that!’ ordered Twink.

      Teena giggled. ‘Why should I? It’s not fair for you two to fly up there where I can’t follow.’ Twink’s little sister wouldn’t learn to fly until she started her first term at Glitterwings in the spring – a fact that caused her a great deal of frustration!

      ‘Yes, that’s the idea!’ said Twink. She loved her little sister, but didn’t want Teena tagging along after her and Bimi all the time.

      ‘Oh! You mean thing!’ screeched Teena.

      Twink ducked as another snowball whizzed through the air. ‘All right, you asked for it!’ she laughed. ‘Come on, Bimi, let’s get her.’

      She jetted off the stump, Bimi close behind. With a startled squawk, Teena nudged Brownie into a gallop. Mouse and fairy scampered across the field, zigzagging this way and that.

      ‘Can’t catch me!’ yelled Teena over her shoulder.

      ‘Just watch us!’ Twink shouted back. Her lavender wings blurred as she darted around frozen blades of grass. ‘Bimi, head her off !’

      ‘With pleasure!’ grinned Bimi.

      Putting on a burst of speed, Bimi shot ahead, circling in front of Brownie. Teena gave a yelp and whirled the mouse the other way – but Twink was waiting for her! Swooping close, Twink grabbed Brownie’s reins and tugged hard. He
