About this ebook

Bad weather causes candy chaos in this sweet treat of a Candy Fairies tale.

An unexpected winter storm has come to Sugar Valley, and the sweet spring crops—including Berry’s jelly bean plants—are on the brink of disaster! Berry feels she’s to blame: Did she plant her crops too early? Even the ever-helpful Fairy Code Book doesn’t have the answer this time. And since the storm has also taken its toll on other fairy homes and surrounding areas, Princess Lolli is worried she won’t be able to visit her sister, Princess Sprinkle. What will Berry and her fairy friends do to save the jelly beans, Princess Lolli’s trip, and the day?

    About Helen Perelman

    For Karen Nagel,

    who makes my books extra sweet!

    The sun shone down on the Royal Gardens at Candy Castle. Berry the Fruit Fairy sat under a lollipop tree with her friend Raina, a Gummy Fairy. It feels like everyone in Candy Kingdom is outside today, Berry said.

    On a day like this, it’s hard to stay inside, Raina replied. She tilted her face up toward the sun’s rays.

    Berry smiled. It was the first warm day of spring, and all the fairies in Sugar Valley were buzzing around. After the chilly winter, the warm sunshine was a welcome feeling.

    Thanks for meeting me for lunch today, Berry told her. I’m sorry I missed Sun Dip last night.

    Sun Dip was a time when Candy Fairies gathered to talk about their day. During the last moments of daylight, Candy Fairies shared stories and sweet treats. Yesterday Berry had missed out on seeing her group of friends.

    Did you finish planting the jelly bean seedlings? Raina asked.

    Berry’s wings fluttered. Yes, she said. I needed the extra time last night. The seedlings are getting so tall. I planted them all.

    Princess Lolli is going to love the new crop of jelly beans, Raina said, smiling. "Our basket is going to be sugar-tastic!"

    Berry and her friends were making a special basket for Princess Lolli’s upcoming journey to see her sister, Princess Sprinkle. Princess Sprinkle lived on Cupcake Lake and ruled over Cake Kingdom to the north. Each sister brought the other the best of her kingdom’s crops to share when she visited.

    On her last visit, Princess Sprinkle had brought beautiful cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and brownies. The Cake Fairies were known for their tasty treats. The Candy Fairies always had a feast during those visits. For Princess Lolli’s trip, Berry had wanted to give the fairies in Cake Kingdom a special sweet treat of her own.

    Cocoa and Melli showed us the basket last night, Raina said. They worked very hard and it is beautiful.

    And did Dash find the nighttime mints? Berry asked. I know she was worried about getting the right size mint for Princess Lolli to see near the Forest of Lost Flavors.

    Raina shivered. Oh, I don’t like thinking of that place, she said. All those white, flavorless trees . . .  Her voice trailed off.

    Berry had heard many stories about the creepy forest from Raina. The Gummy Fairy loved books and owned the largest collection in Sugar Valley. There was plenty written about the Forest of Lost Flavors. The wide forest divided the land between Candy Kingdom and Cake Kingdom. Most Candy Fairies stayed far away from the eerie forest. Nothing grew there anymore—no candy crops at all. Now there were just tall white trees without any flavor. That forest was not somewhere a fairy would want to be without any light, and it was scariest at night.
