Opis

Thirteen-year-old Annie Clark spends the summer in a magical land after unexpectedly learning she has special powers. She rides flying horses at her aunt and uncle's ranch and attends school where she meets new friends including a rebellious tooth fairy who hates to touch teeth and a centaur with a broken leg. An oracle, called the Pearls of Wisdom, indicates she must help with a complex spell. She attends a Royal Ball where her magic dancing shoes run away with her. Annie must find out who is trying to kidnap her while she helps her new friends and learns the truth about her family. A Publishers Weekly reviewer said Annie Clark and the Pearls of Wisdom is "reminiscent of pop fantasies like Ella Enchanted and Harry Potter" and the author, "shows promise, thanks to cute ideas like a disappearing opaky (invisible pet), Non-Stop shoes, an oracle who communicates via the pearls of wisdom and some dangerous 'expectacles'."
