The Revenge of the Tooth Fairy (#1 Mallory, Mallory)

Author(s): James Norcliffe

NZ Middle Fiction

When Mallory and her sidekick Arthur kidnap the tooth fairy, they get more than they bargained for in this sparkling fantasy adventure novel for children.


Mallory is a nasty piece of work. Her one friend is Arthur, who only puts up with her because he has no one else. When Mallory loses a tooth, she comes up with an evil idea to capture and blackmail the tooth fairy for an endless supply of money. But it's never a good idea to meddle with a magical creature, and Mallory and Arthur are about to find out just how bad it can get.


With James Norcliffe's signature magic and humour, and Emily Walker's equally magical illustrations, The Revenge of the Tooth Fairy will delight fans of the Harry Potter series, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Wizard of Oz and top-quality fantasy adventures.

Ruth's review:


Mallory is the perfect villain. She's a schemer and a shocking liar and, after losing a tooth, comes up with a wicked plan to kidnap the Tooth Fairy and demand an endless supply of ransom money.


Mallory's only friend Arthur (she's horrible to him too but he puts up with her because he has no one else) tries to stop her but Mallory is like a bulldozer... except this time she has come up against a formidable adversary. The Tooth Fairy might seem like an innocuous little mouse with magical abilities, but it has the measure of Mallory.


Norcliffe, who wrote the fabulous award-winning Loblolly Boy fantasy duo, combines lots of humorous dialogue and many twists and turns in this cautionary tale. There are loads of references to all things toothy and dental - a pack of canine dogs,  a forest of gum trees, a couple of giant molars and customs officers called Incisors. It's so much fun and would be a brilliant read-aloud for children aged 8 to 11 years. I loved the characters, especially awful Mallory, and the good news is there will be a sequel.
