Lena

By Carol Hardesty

Lena Everleigh has never been normal. For one thing, she was born no bigger than a thumb. For another, she was found abandoned in a tulip by her adoptive (and normal-sized) mother. Finally, despite aging and growing like anyone else, Lena has always remained tiny. Lena has always wondered where she fits in the very big world but isn't sure where to start. However, circumstance has other plans.

One fateful night, Lena is spirited away from the only home she knows to Araminta Woods, where animals speak and fairies flit about freely. Still, all Lena wants is to return to her loving mother and a life of safety. Aiding her on her journey are Biff, a swallow who's always on cloud nine, and Adrian, a runaway fairy prince with a chip on his shoulder.

As the trio dodges show business beetles, deadly hawks, and Adrian's hard-as-nails older sibling, Lena starts to wonder. Could the forest she's trying to escape actually be the one place she belongs?
