Unfairies: Death by Toad

PREPARE TO RE-ENTER THE GARDEN.

Pip is now the ruler of Oakhold. Yay! But there's already trouble. Boo!

Shockingly, it turns out Pip is actually a pretty rubbish leader. Something sinister is stirring in the garden - and Pip could not give two hoots about tackling it.

That is, until she sends her best friend Twig out on a heroic mission, and he is KIDNAPPED. Now it's up to Pip and a most unlikely ally to get him back - and try their best to avoid . . . DEATH BY TOAD.

PRAISE FOR UNFAIRIES: 'I loved everything about this book. It's just SO funny and it looks brilliant. Love the energy, love the palette, love the textures love the characterisation . . . Move over Tinkerbell, there's a new favourite fairy in town.'

Rob Biddulph, bestselling author of Draw With Rob and Peanut Jones
