“Delightfully written and illustrated with plenty of "tooth fairy adventures!" This book will be read and enjoyed by children of all ages... adults, too!... because we all want to know more about the mysterious tooth fairy and what exactly does that tooth fairy do with all of those teeth that we give her? I laughed and giggled while reading the story as I remembered my days of losing teeth... many moons ago. Thanks for writing this lovely book, Linda Dawley. My grandkids and young students are going to love this book!”

“I could hear the voices of the characters, heard every tone and saw every expression. This is more than a story, it was an experience. I became part of the book. My grandchildren will love it as much as I do.”
- Judy S.

“Linda Dawley’s Tooth Fairy Annabelle is overworked and tired; all she has to look forward to is ‘teeth, teeth and more teeth.’
Something has to happen and something does. Being caught by Molly, the daughter of rationalist parents who have raised her to believe only in Scientific Truths, is the catalyst for Annabelle to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Molly is one of those persistent, precocious children who just ask to be put in their place, but despite her faults she is willing to help. It’s an odd combination of characters, one of the charms of this little book, that generates some unexpected twists and turns to the story.
The rather bureaucratic nature of this Fairyland provides nice humour, with the paper-shuffling Presiding Elf worthy of Kafka himself, the eccentric Gnome of the Forest and the word-play that arises from these encounters.
The Tooth Fairy’s Mistake is a modern fairy tale that will appeal to small girls who like fairy stories with a difference. Parents will enjoy the underlying satire.”

Linda Dawley, a Canadian, married a Kiwi and moved to New Zealand, via Australia. In New Zealand they continued the trend of shifting house at least once a year and Linda decided she needed a profession that could shift along with her. She turned to a long held desire and studied 'Applied Writing' with Northland Polytechnic. New Zealand's Learning Media School Journal and the Australian School Magazine are home to her first children's short stories. Linda has written two children's novels, The Tooth Fairy's Mistake and Wee Mac, and is currently working on her next book.
