Thirteen-year-old Annie Clark spends the summer in a magical land after unexpectedly learning she has special
powers. She rides flying horses at her aunt and uncle's ranch and attends school where she meets new friends
including a rebellious tooth fairy who hates to touch teeth and a centaur with a broken leg. An oracle, called the
Pearls of Wisdom, indicates she must help with a complex spell. She attends a Royal Ball where her magic dancing
shoes run away with her. Annie must find out who is trying to kidnap her while she helps her new friends and learns
the truth about her family.
The book is for girls 8 - 13 and their mothers, aunts, and grandmothers. Here's what one reader said:
"When I first started reading the story, it was with the opinion that I was trying to see if it would make a good gift for
pre-teen girl relatives. I was therefore, surprised to find myself quite caught up in it... Laura Browne throws in puns
and play-on-words enough to give the older reader a chuckle, as well as weaving the story to interest her actual
target audience."

Cousin Shelby quickly strapped the training saddle on her neighfly, Tornado, as he stamped his feet and
tossed his mane impatiently. He had a white patch between his wild eyes and the rest of him was inky
black.
Some of the other neighflies in the hayviary looked much calmer, and I timidly mentioned that to Shelby.
She brushed her short-cropped black hair out of her eyes with the back of her hand and said, "Do you want
to ride or not?"
"Sure, it's just that..."
"Well, Tornado's my neighfly. Some of those others are so slow, you might as well walk." I silently thought
that would be just fine with me, but I didn't say anything.
Tornado's training saddle had two small seats. Shelby hopped onto the front seat in a quick fluid motion,
slipping her feet neatly into the stirrups.
"Let's go," she barked at me as I awkwardly tried to copy her movements and settle into the second seat.
As I strapped myself in, Shelby nudged the neighfly with her heels, and he started to trot and unfurl his
massive wings. My fingers clutched the saddle horn in front of me as though they were glued to it. My eyes
were tightly shut and I wondered if riding Tornado was a good idea. I'd never ridden a neighfly before.
I hadn't even believed in them until that morning.
