Chapter ONE 'Looks like perfect weather for our picnic today!' exclaimed Dad, glancing out of the window at the cloudless sky. My dad is a fairy, and he loves sunshine and nature! 'Hmm,' said Mum. 'I wouldn't say perfect. Rain would be much more atmospheric.' My mum is a witch and

loves it when the skies are gloomy. I stared out of the window at the sparkling sunshine. Although I definitely identify more with my witchy side, I did agree with Dad that sunny weather was much nicer for a picnic.

I want to wear my swimming costume and run through the sprinkler!' I said. 'Mmm hmm,' said Mum, who was preoccupied with preparing the food for the barbecue. She was making some absolutely disgusting-looking beetle burgers and putting them on a plate next to some bug skewers. 'Yuck!' I said. I hate all witch food! So does my brother Wilbur. I was glad we would be eating fairy food made by Dad, hopefully cooked on a separate barbecue. 'Don't be rude!' said Mum. 'Now go and get out of your pyjamas, please. Our guests will be here soon!'

Mum had invited our new neighbours, Frederick and Felice, over for the barbecue, along with Oswald, their son. I was actually quite looking forward to meeting them! 'Do you think Oswald might want to

play in the sprinkler too?' I asked. 'Maybe,' said Mum. 'But I don't want anyone getting soaked in the sprinkler until after lunch! Go and put on your party dress, please.'
