A little preview
On a lane lined with lime trees, Alex met a tiny baker sprite named Pipp who wore flour freckles and carried a pocketful of pixie dust. The dust helped pastries rise with a giggle and made mooncakes glow for night markets. But as Pipp bent to tie his tiny apron, the pocket tore and a puff of glittery dust burst out, scattering into roof gutters and a puddle of syrup. Pipp’s eyes widened—without the dust his bakery treats would be only ordinary. Alex rolled up sleeves and offered to help gather what they could before evening customers arrived.
