Bonnie Bailey and the Faire of Worlds

Join Bonnie Bailey as she enters a magical, world-travelling Faire in this epic middle-grade fantasy about finding your own strength.

Thirteen-year-old Bonnie Bailey comes from a long line of beekeepers. But her family's apiary is failing, and Bonnie and her mum need money fast if they have any chance of saving it.

When a mysterious woman appears among the beehives and offers Bonnie a job at a fair that's in town for one night only, Bonnie reluctantly takes a chance. But the Faire of Worlds isn't a regular carnival — she's a sentient, magical being who exists in a nomadic pocket reality. Her residents are people and creatures rescued from countless other realities.

Bonnie is swept into a world of unimaginable wonders and dangerous undercurrents. She tends a colony of giant bees, befriends a young cowboy who's on the run for stealing eggs from flying turtles, and discovers that not everything at the Faire is as happy as it seems. When the Faire is threatened by dark forces, Bonnie faces an impossible decision: return to the safety of her own reality — or stay and fight to protect this fantastical world she has grown to love.

With a cast of unforgettable characters and boundless curiosities, Bonnie Bailey and the Faire of Worlds will lure readers back again and again.
