When Mallory and her sidekick Arthur kidnap the tooth fairy, they get more than they bargained for in this sparkling fantasy adventure novel for children.

Mallory is a nasty piece of work. Her one friend is Arthur, who only puts up with her because he has no one else. When Mallory loses a tooth, she comes up with an evil idea to capture and blackmail the tooth fairy for an endless supply of money. But it's never a good idea to meddle with a magical creature, and Mallory and Arthur are about to find out just how bad it can get.

With James Norcliffe's signature magic and humour, and Emily Walker's equally magical illustrations, The Revenge of the Tooth Fairy will delight fans of the Harry Potter series, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Wizard of Oz and top-quality fantasy adventures.

Kathleen's review - How far do you go to keep in with your one and only friend? Of course, Arthur thinks he's just humouring Mallory - after all, the tooth fairy doesn't really exist; so kidnap and extortion aren't really going to happen. Ha! Little does Arthur know ....... This is very funny! And it has a bit of a moral lesson.
