£4.99
Sent away to live in the countryside with their reclusive uncle, five children discover a secret that’s been
hidden away for centuries: a magical, mischievous but somewhat grouchy Sand Fairy called It with the
power to grant spectacular wishes. There’s just one catch…
As the children set off on a series of fantastic adventures, they soon learn that wishes can get you into a
whole heap of trouble. Perhaps a wish granted isn’t always the dream come true you might expect!

Robert: Anthea!
Anthea: What?

Anthea; I’m using it, Robert. (Anthea has a rolling pin. Perhaps Robert tries to take it.)
Anthea; I said I’m using it.
Robert; Well you can’t so give it here.
Anthea; No.
