Description
The Investigators meet The First Cat in Space in this hilarious graphic novel. Fairy and Mouse will forever change young readers' perspectives on stepmothers, princes, and pumpkins as they help Cinderella set things right when her carriage veers off course.
Every fairy tale needs a fairy. Because sometimes stories go off the rails, and this fairy knows just what to do to fix them.
Actually, he doesn't . . . He makes it up as he goes along.
And sometimes he needs help. A lot of help. Which is where Mouse comes in.
Together, she and Fairy will make sure this tale has a happily ever after-just maybe not the one you expect.

Reviews
(Outside In) "Quietly profound...a comforting reminder that Outside will be there for us when we're ready." - New York Times Book Review (Outside In) "The atmospheric watercolors on these pages mesmerize. Now, more than ever, we need books to remind us that Outside 'beckons with smells, sunbaked, fresh, and mysterious.'" - NPR (Outside In) "[A] love letter to nature....Lushness without sweetness-wild, darkly romantic, and exquisite." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) (Outside In) "This gorgeous celebration of nature is a stirring invitation to play." - School Library Journal (starred review) (Outside In) "A moving reminder that nature's beckoning need not go unrequited." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) (Outside In) "[A] gentle, unpreachy text that conveys the way modern life can be cut off from or blind to nature....Ink and watercolor art is gorgeously luminous." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) (Outside In) "[A] lyrical and sensory exploration of the artificial separation between indoors and outdoors....Outside In is a beguiling, thought-provoking book that thinks outside the box." - BookPage (starred review) (The Quiet Book) "A delightful and enchanting choice for storytime or sharing one-on-one." - School Library Journal (starred review)
