I read this book when I was ten years old and was charmed by the secret world of wood sprites and gnomes going about thier busy lives, invisible to all but one lucky little girl who can see them through her magic pair of glasses. This book is unique. Written before Harry Potter, Ruby Lorraine Radfords voice speaks the secret language that every child understands. I truly reccomend this book to every child who still believes in Santa, the tooth fairy and that if you wish hard enough, you can make your wishes come true.
