Excerpt
Petra closed her eyes again. She imagined she had fairy wings and was soaring through the air with a path of sparkling fairy dust trailing behind her. She smiled. Thump! She landed on the floor with a thud then started to roll. When she came to a stop, stars danced above her head, replacing the fairy dust dream. Was anything broken? She lay there for a moment waiting for the stars to disappear. Then she slowly tried to roll. To the left. To the right. Something felt different, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
