This week I'm featuring Elle's Magical Shoes (The Magical Things Collection Book 1) by Carla Reighard. This is a really sweet middle grade story.
Fairies.
Foster kids.
One box full of magical shoes.
Eleven-year-old Elle has two things keeping her going in her Colorado foster home: her vivid imagination and an unshakable belief that her missing family will return. She just didn't expect her imagination to crash through her bedroom window in the form of a blue-haired fairy named Florena.
Suddenly, Elle’s stories are real, and she is handed an impossible task: give away a box of magical footwear, one life-changing pair at a time, to the people around her—including her worst enemy. It's a test to prove to a bitter fairy queen that humans are capable of generosity. If Elle succeeds, she wins a mysterious prize. But when the queen breaks her promise, Elle must journey directly into the heart of the secret fairy kingdom. To save everyone she loves, Elle will have to face a centuries-old grief head-on before both worlds tear apart

Book Beginning / First Line
Between the spine-chilling wind's howl and the steady rhythm of her foster sister's snores, Elle couldn't sleep. Inevitably, her mind became a playground for make-believe stories to soar.

Elle's stomach dropped. All energy seeped out of her, and she slouched over her knees.
