Sheepskerry Island is a fairy's paradise in fall and winter and spring, but not in summer. That's when the cottages are taken over . . . by the Summer People. Tinker Bell's little sisters, Clara, Rosy, Golden, Sylva, and Squeak, spend the long sunny days in hiding. The Summer People are dangerous!
But one Summer Child, Louisa, needs a little extra help this summer, and kindhearted Rosy knows just what to do to make her feel better. Soon Rosy and Louisa are secret friends! But what if the Sheepskerry fairies find out Rosy has made friends with a Summer Child? And how can Rosy keep such a big secret from her very own sisters?

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.
