'I've never had enough of anything - including money, friends, brothers and sisters. Then my Daddy won some money on the football pools and bought us an old house that's really nice but needs a lot of work. But it meant I had to start a new school where everyone else has known each other for years, and now I'm being bullied and no-one likes me.
'Then Daddy took Mummy on a cruise, and my Nanna moved in to look after me. But their ship sank and they drowned. I miss them so much my throat hurts. And most of the money Daddy had left was spent on getting them home and buried, so now we can't afford the repairs to the house.
'And now my Nanna's been taken ill. She's all the family I've got, and I'm scared she might die too. Who would look after me if she does?
'How can I get my Nanna healed, stop the bullying, and get the house repaired?
'Perhaps if I could catch a fairy, it would grant me three wishes?'
It was wonderful - very evocative and reminded me so much of the books I read as a child! (Like Lindy I read all of Enid Blyton too!) It was a really heartwarming, magical story! Lizzie Blake
