Of Fairies and Noontime
Hadley Marble is a curious, unladylike, and stubborn 12-year-old girl who loves exploring-and breaking the rules. One day, after climbing the oak tree in her backyard, she finds herself sucked into a portal in the tree's bark and taken to a world where fairies exist-and humans are treated like monsters. Hadley is worried that she may have gone too far this time-that is, until she meets a kindhearted fairy named Ellabelle who introduces Hadley to her friends and the fairy world. Hadley forgets all about getting home by noon and becomes invested in the ultimate game of make believe. She doesn't realize, however, that she is an unwelcome visitor, and there are many dark secrets hidden beneath the glittering surface of Ofan Village.***Note: This is a story that I may come back to edit from time to time. I wrote it a few years ago, but I wanted to share it. :)…
