What if ... a girl and her tooth fairy flew away to the realm called Nearandfar and the girl discovered she had more power than the fairies? Page Truly is on a mission. It won't be easy. There will be danger. Page will have to be very brave and very smart. It all happens one night when a sassy tooth fairy brings a borrowed wand and a big attitude to Page's bedroom. She makes it look like a wand can do anything. That is until Page has to save Nearandfar, and discovers that a magic wand is only as powerful as the gifted one who knows how to unlock its secrets and use it wisely. Page Truly and The Journey To Nearandfar is a fun adventure for children and adults alike. It touches on the issues of leaving childhood, accepting responsibility, relying on friends, caring for others, and being brave when it seems as if you have no power at all. As it turns out, Nearandfar is not so near but not so far either - if you have a child's belief in dreams. Written for ages 7 to 11, this is award-winning author L B Gschwandtner's first novel for children.
