Story of Twig's Adventure

The novel is about a girl named Twig. She is a little city girl with a big imagination. Twig finds a simple tomato can. She decides to turn it into a tiny house for fairies.

One day, a small elf appears. He comes to live in the new fairy house. Twig asks the elf to make her fairy-sized too. He is able to make her small. But he cannot give her wings like a fairy.

To help Twig get wings, a friendly sparrow flies off. The sparrow goes to find the Queen of the fairies. The Queen then comes to help Twig. This starts Twig's magical adventure.
