 Malben's
Mission
Gail’s first book for children, based upon Huey, the
resident bad fairy of her forest who learns all his
lessons the hard way. He skips fairy classes and
runs amuck tying the possum’s tail in knots and
doing damage to the earth. He eventually runs away
from the fairy kingdom and gets lost, but is found
asleep in a foxglove garden, where, captured by two
children who teach him the errors of his ways, find
the reason why he won’t help the planet and by their
own examples change the course of his direction.
This is the story of how little Malben finds his way
back home and receives the most important assignment
of all from the Fairy Queen.
Reader age 9 through juvenile, even adults.

dumped back into Eric’s dark pocket. He struggled
to free himself, but the boy held his hand over the
fabric until the contrary fairy had stilled himself

himself up as tall as a fairy could get and yelled
out from the pocket… |

“You’d better
let me go, you had,
or I will cast a spell.
Or maybe I will send the wind
to rip your windowsill.
You don’t need to mess with me,
I’m warning you, I’m bad.
I’m far the worst of all of them
the world has ever had!”
“It would be very
hard for a fairy without powers to do any such
things,”
Eric mocked as he removed Malben from his pocket and
plopped down in front of him on the grass.
