Tinker Bell and the Lost City

Gr 5-7–A new story in the "Disney Fairies" universe that celebrates diversity and the spirit of curiosity. The beloved Tinker Bell, a white and fair-haired fairy, is on a new adventure. When a fairy from an unknown land washes up on the shores of Never Land, Tink is immediately drawn into the mystery. With her talents and signature curiosity, she follows the clues to the Mainland and is launched into the steampunk world of Bleakwatch, a fairy society unlike anything Tink has ever known. With a ragtag and diverse group of scavengers called the Flutterpunks, Tink seeks to uncover the secrets of this unknown fairy society, and the mystery may be deeper than anyone could imagine. This initial book in the new “Bleakwatch Chronicles” series celebrates the character and charm of Tinker Bell while breathing new life into her adventures. The Flutterpunks capture a diversity of fairies unlike the traditional stories of Never Land. The city of Bleakwatch is a parallel of London, the human city it lives beneath. Through the commentary of Bleakwatch, young readers will be introduced to the troubles of classism, privilege, and wealth disparity. The dual perspectives of Tink and nonbinary fairy Quin convey the importance of equality and equity in every society, even a fairy one.
