well... it's about the tooth-fairy
rather, it's about tooth-fairies

from the inside cover

" 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 - about tooth fairies, known as
skibbereen, who are living in warring
colonies right in their neighborhood.
According to Gage, the skibbereen put
those teeth to good use. And Gage has
met them. Dinah is skeptical, but as
the story unfolds and the storm rages on,
she begins to believe. "

i'm not sure that the description accurately portrays the story - it mostly
revolves around the main tooth-fairy, a
lonely orphan skibbereen, who finds himself
taken into one of the warring colonies and
how he is constantly getting into trouble
because he does not know the rules...
but this turns out to be a blessing in
the end

ive never read that ...but i as a child did summon for a tooth fairy with the tooth that i lost on my palm and stretched my arm forward..
chanting - tooth fairy, toothfairy give me a new tooth! about 15 times looking at the sky!
and then promptly buried my tooth.
NEXT DAY MORN I WOULD BE SURPRISED TO FIND FEW SHINING CURRENCY COINS UNDERNEATH MY PILLOW.

An indication that tooth fairy has acknowledged my request for a new, bright, white, straight and strong tooth!
