(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Small. When their glass kingdom falls to ruin, the king and queen need the magical assistance of dirt-loving, forest-dwelling fairy Bloom, but they won't accept her on her (muddy) terms. Cronin, an ace at plotting, is in fine form here, resulting in a top-drawer girl-power-themed fairy tale. The elegant art is all the more impressive for dazzling under a layer of dirt.
