Sara-Kate dresses poorly and has a terrible temper. The whole school avoids her because they think she's strange. But maybe her strangeness is exactly why a colony of elves has decided to build a village in her backyard. Hillary refuses to follow everyone else's prejudices. She's determined to discover what Sara-Kate is hiding. Through Sara-Kate's imagination and a tiny magical ferris wheel that catches moonlight, a bitter reality transforms into the most incredible magic. This international classic explores the magic of friendship and growing up while learning to see even terrible things through childhood's enchanted eyes.
