Fairy Realm: The Flower Fairies by Emily Rodda

This book is one of my Modern Fantasy books.

This book is about a young girl that is the daughter of a fairy Queen. She travels through the "Blue Moon" garden to get to the other realm. While at the realm she encounters many different types of people. In this story the Realm has acquired to much magic and the Griffins are guarding everything they want to guard, instead of what needs to be guarded for the queen. The fairies ask for help and Jessie has the idea to trick the Griffins into guarding the treasure house. Jessie and the fairies used the Chest of Magic wings to trick the Griffins into guarding the treasure house by telling them that these were the Queen's prized possessions and that it would take all the Griffins to guard them.. After getting all the Griffins to guard the treasure house, the magic was starting to get back to normal in the realm. Jessie had borrowed one set of wings to help her dance at her concert that evening and was planning on returning the wings the next day. When Jessie returned to the garden she was tired and went upstairs and took a nap. What Jessie did not realize is that the fairies came through the garden warn her. The Griffins over heard that Jessie had a pair of the wings and they came through the realm to retrieve the wings. By the Griffins and fairies all coming through the realm door, it cause problems in the human world. When Jessie wakes up she tracks down all the fairies and helps save them. Her grandmother returns the Griffins back to the realm with the fairy wings. After Jessie's concert, she learns that the fairy wings she danced with were not the magic ones and that she was able to dance. With this book I would use it to teach the students to have faith in themselves. They don't need magic or luck to be great at somethings.
