A bit about Silfa
A Fairy Tale
A young fairy, Silfa, finds herself trapped in a different
time zone and in a locale which she does not remember. She has somehow traveled
into the future. How can she hide from harm when a young sad boy, Willy,
actually sees her? He, too, is troubled with family problems. They strike a
friendship which helps them both grow in understanding of the world
Silfa possesses all the beautiful qualities of a “good
fairy, as well as a delightful wit. She tries to help Willie while she tries to
help herself, and even has to fight a monster from her former life come to
attack her
The book is a fantasy, but seems believable and real, even
though this is “escape” literature. Children, as well as adults will enjoy
immersing themselves into the story, anxious to know how it will end and yet
reluctant to let go.
Nadler has captured the childhood fantasy of fairies with a
story which transports you to the world you remember believing in as a child.
And when it is over, you want more.
CHAPTER 1
Silfa sat very still, trying to remember something, some place or name, but memories rushed by her eyes too quickly and made her dizzy. “The others must be looking for food,” she told herself, as she stretched her arms and wiped the spider’s web from her slippers.
“That is why I am alone.”
The light was turning the curious blue color of winter’s eve as the fairy tried to stand, but Silfa was too weak. “What has happened?” she wondered out loud. “Why am I so tired?”
And then she curled up in a ball, and fell back into a dreamless sleep, covering herself with her wings. In the corners of the large room, the wind echoed and laughed in surprise at the fairy’s unexpected movements. Night fell like a huge wave.
When she awoke, a grey December’s dawn filled the room. This time she was not surprised to find herself in the attic. Her slender fingers combed through her long silver hair. She slowly stood up and stretched her arms and legs like a kitten. She adjusted her shimmering dress and tiptoed to the dormer window, where she washed her face in a droplet of water that covered the inside of the window glass.
As she cleaned her face and hands, she peered out at the world below her. Fog hung low on the tree branches, almost hiding the street. And far away she thought she heard her family laugh, but it was just the wind.
Suddenly, she had a frightening feeling that everything had changed, but just how, she couldn’t be sure
