What if the Blue Fairy wasn't supposed to help Pinocchio? 'Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight ...' So begins the wish that changes everything-for Geppetto, the Blue Fairy and a little puppet named Pinocchio. The Blue Fairy isn't supposed to grant wishes in the village of Pariva, but something about this one awakens some long-buried flicker within. Perhaps it's the hope she senses beneath the old man's loneliness. Or maybe it's the fact that long ago, before she was the Blue Fairy, she was a young woman named Chiara with a simple wish: to help others find happiness. Her sister, Ilaria, always teased her for this, for Ilaria had big dreams to leave their sleepy village and become a world-renowned opera singer. While Ilaria would have given anything to have a fairy grant her wish, Chiara didn't believe in the lore for which their village was famous. Forty years later, Chiara, now the Blue Fairy, defies the rules of magic to help an old friend. ISBN: 9781760264086 Author(s): Elizabeth Lim
