What-the-dickens: The Story of a Rogue Tooth Fairy

On the darkest night, amidst a terrifying storm, Dinah's parents go missing. While anxious Dinah and her brother and sister worry and huddle for warmth, their cousin Gage tells them an unlikely story -- that tooth fairies, known as skibbereen, are living in warring colonies right in the neighborhood. According to Gage, they actually put those teeth to good use. And he, Gage, has met them. Dinah is skeptical, but as the story unfolds and the storm rages on, she begins to believe. By turns touching and comic, What-the-Dickens is a decidedly imaginative journey into myth that could only have been penned by that premier interpreter of the fairy-tale world, Gregory Maguire. Gregory Maguire famously reimagined Oz in Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, a humorous middle-grade series. Gregory Maguire co-founded Children's Literature New England in 1986 and has taught children's literature at Simmons College and elsewhere. He lives with his family outside Boston, Massachusetts. Jason Culp is an accomplished actor of stage and screen, with audiobook performances for bestselling authors John Irving and Peter Straub. He lives in New York City and is currently working on a novel of his own.
