Lena Coakley’s Wicked Nix is a stunning middle-grade classic in the making
about the foulest fairy of all.
Mischievous woodland fairy Nix is up to no good. His beloved fairy queen has
gone away, leaving him with a very important job. He must protect the forest
from a most dangerous enemy: humans.
When a determined invader trespasses on Nix’s territory, putting his skills to the
test, the prideful fairy boasts of all the wicked tricks he’ll use to chase the sorry
fellow away. But, the reader soon learns, this sprite is not at all what he seems.
This kid-friendly fairy tale explores the timeless bonds of family and the joy of
finding home in unexpected places.
