Quest For The Celestial Wand Bianca Rodriguez Jacobs 9781839528781

Fairy godmothers walk among us, hidden in plain sight, tasked with protecting humans from harm. This was a fact twelve-year-old Darcy Holloway had always known to be true, until her mother passed away two years ago, leaving her suddenly sceptical of all things magical. Until one night, when she's pulled through her dreams into the fairy realm, where she befriends a group of trainee fairy godmothers, led by tenacious, Bella Brightheart.

The friends have overheard a big secret - the fairy realm is running out of magic. But Darcy's arrival could not have been more perfectly timed. Together, they discover that Darcy's gemstone necklace, the last gift from her mother, has always connected her to the fairy world and is part of an ancient prophecy that could restore magic to the realm by forging the all-powerful Celestial Wand. But saving the realm will take sacrifice; and with fearsome goblins, tricky pixies and an epic quest in their way, it will surely be an adventure to remember. Because of one thing you can always be sure, even in the darkest of times, magic is never far away.

Bianca Rodriguez Jacobs lives in Wiltshire with her husband, where she enjoys long walks in the countryside, balanced with plenty of delicious home-cooked food.

Growing up with a lively younger sister, Bianca always enjoyed creating magical worlds for them to play in, which has carried into her love of fantasy stories set in faraway lands. She is also very proud of her half-Spanish heritage, often using it to inspire Latin characters in her stories that reflect the richness of our diverse society.

After studying Psychology at the University of Bristol, Bianca's passion for writing led her into the world of internal communications, where she has worked for several years until realising there simply isn't enough magic involved in the corporate world.

When she isn't writing, Bianca enjoys nothing more than coaching her local girls' football team, spending time with family, and an occasional glass of Aperol Spritz.
