Description: This
story is about a 10 year old boy named Jimmy. Jimmy thought his biggest
problems were the bullies until he lost a tooth and had a frightening encounter
with the tooth fairy. What if the tooth fairy you knew as your loving mommy
turned out to be a horrifying creature?
In Short: What makes this novel scary is not just the
faerie with sharpened teeth but the helplessness of our child protagonist. If
you like horror this is a fun read that is longer than your typical short story
so it is packed with action but still a quick read.

Pros: This book
is very, very well written. What you can really appreciate about Jeff Chapman's
writing is that the language matches the setting and characters of a particular
story. As a result you find yourself deeply immersed. It is very descriptive
and includes a lot of fun and interesting details. I liked the use of the mom
and her nail file and a chilling explanation for why mothers always seem to
have a nail file handy. I thought this was a entertaining story and I would
love to see more. I thought the description of the tooth fairy was awesome and
terrifying. I felt danger for Jimmy the entire time and I loved the ending.
Cons: I have no notable issues with this book.
Parent's Guide: Pretty clean book and not too scary. Some violence in the form of children brawling. I would say it is a safe read for
most adolescents.
