Synopsis
An earth-shattering storm, a storied orphan with an interest in teeth, and a long yarn pull the young Ormsbys together as they wait out the weather. Famed author Gregory Maguire has created a fantastical tale for middle graders to enjoy. Maguire is the author of the bestselling WICKED., As a terrible storm rages, ten-year-old Dinah and her brother and sister listen to their cousin Gage's tale of a newly-hatched, orphaned, skibberee, or tooth fairy, called What-the-Dickens, who hopes to find a home among the skibbereen tribe, if only he can stay out of trouble.

Industry Reviews
"Using subtle, indirect allusions, Maguire crafts an utterly original story out of snippets, parodies, and faint resemblances to other tales, and his constant shifting of registers from whimsically descriptive language to more stark phrasing creates a richly comic, if not laugh-out-loud, effect."
