Drawing is my passi on. I draw the land around me, and lands I make up in
my head. I draw p eople I see, and fictional creatures. I draw anything
and everything that gives me inspirati on. Lately, though,
something strange is happening with my drawings.

I have a desk set up in my bedroom, with my art


supplies and other decorations that my parents
helped me buy for motivation. Whenever I leave
a drawing there overnight, it disappears! I search
everywhere for my drawings, but I can never find
them!

Something has to b e done, I don’t want to keep losing my


favorite pieces of artwork! I decide to enlist my
brother’s help. He l oves to read spy novels, and he
might have some good ideas to help me discover where my missing
drawings are.

“Tony, I need your help! My d rawings keep disappearing, and I really


don’t want to keep losing them. Can you help me spy on my desk
overnight?” I ask.

“Sure, sis. I think I might be able to set up my tablet to record video all
night so we can see what’s happening,” he answers.

“Awesome!”

Tony gets to wor k s etting up his spy station. I have a hard time falling
asleep because I can’t wait to see what we’ll find out in the morning!

“Jamie, get up ! I t’s time to check the video!” Tony prods me awake.

We walk over to the tablet and Tony pulls up the video from the night
before. I t’s a long time before anything happens, but when we see how
my drawing disappear, we s tare in disbelief.

“Did you see what I just saw? Are you sure you set up the tablet
correctly? That can’t be real!”

Tony replies, “I can’t believe it either, but I ’m sure I set it up correctly!


What do we do now?”

We had seen fairies take my drawing! Four of them, one for each corner
of the paper . Fairies! They picked up my paper, and a littl e door
appeared right next to the window by my desk! I f I didn’t know that Tony
had set it up correctly, I would have thought it was some sort of prank.

“I wonder if they c an read, maybe we should leave them a note. I want


to find out more ab out them, and why they’re taking my drawings!” I tell
Tony. We sit down at my desk and draft a note to the fairies. I draw a little
picture on it for good luck. The note says, “Hi Fairies, We’re Jamie and
Tony. Why are you taking my drawings? I hope you like them! We’d love
to meet you, so please come visit agai n! From, Jamie and Tony.”

Again, I have troub le sleeping because I ’m so excited. The next morning, I


see a paper s till on my des k. I hope it’s a note from the fairies, and not
our note from last night! I go get T ony before I look. We l ook at the paper
together, and it’s a note back from the fairies!

All day Tony and I can’t s top talking about what the fairyland will be like.
Will it be filled with magical creatures? Will the trees look l ike our trees?
What do fairies eat? We are filled with questions and excitement.

We camp out in my bedroom, playing games to keep us awake until


midnight. As the cl ock turns from 11:59 to 12:00, we see a light by my
window. I t’s the door opening! Out fly the same 4 fairies th at we saw on
the camera! They introduce themselves to us, and ask us if we’re ready
for an adventure. Of course we are!

“But, I ’m not sure how we’re going to fit through your little fairy door.
We’re bigger than you are,” I say.

“Don’t worry,” the smalles t fairy replies, “Just imagine yourself getting
smaller with every s tep you take towards the door.” Tony and I look at
each other and nod. We walk towards the door, thinking small with each
step.

Suddenly, we’re thr ough the little fairy door, in a world li ke nothing we’ve
ever seen. There ar e little houses and shops and trees like in our world,
but mixed in are unusual plants and animals. Some of the trees have blue
leaves and purple trunks. Some of the flowers are in the shapes of stars
and hearts and even animals! Somehow it all works together, and the
land is beautiful . We cannot wait to go explore and find out more about
the fairies.
