First published 1999
When the fairy Ethelinda meddles in the lives of twin sisters, her idea of "justice" backfires spectacularly. The well-behaved twin is cursed with a "reward" of endless chores, while her mischievous sister is blessed with a life of luxury and ease. As the sisters' paths diverge, they learn that a fairy's notion of right and wrong often clashes with their own - and that the greatest rewards can come from the most unexpected places.
