The Fairy Bell Sisters #4: Clara and the Magical Charms - Hardcover

All the fairies on Sheepskerry Island look up to Clara Bell. Clara can do anything, which is why the younger Bell sisters—Rosy, Goldie, Sylva, and Squeak—are so proud of her. But when Clara starts to grow into her magical powers, things get a little bumpy. At first it's fun to practice her charms, especially since a colony of gnomes is visiting Sheepskerry Island for the Valentine's Games . . . and one of them, Rowan, seems to like her very much. But when Clara and Rowan are faced with serious trouble, Clara tries to do magic that's too hard for her—way too hard for her. Will she have to pay a terrible price?

Sparkles, games, gnomes, and newfound magic combine to enchant readers in this fourth adventure in the Fairy Bell Sisters series.

Margaret McNamara is the Christopher Award-winning author of more than two dozen books for young readers, including the Robin Hill School series. The Fairy Bell Sisters series is inspired not only by her love of the classic sisterhood novel Little Women but by her own experiences growing up with older sisters (and a baby brother). Margaret and her family live in New York City, but they spend part of their summer on an island in Maine very much like Sheepskerry Island.
