About This Book

Fawn races through the forest, her heart pounding as the NeverBeast's heavy footsteps shake the ground behind her. The Scout Fairies are closing in, determined to capture the mysterious creature before he can cause any harm. But Fawn knows there’s more to the NeverBeast than meets the eye—will she convince her friends before it's too late?

While other fairies fear the creature, Fawn’s belief in looking beyond appearances leads to an adventure filled with friendship, courage, and heart. Suitable for early readers aged 5-8, the story contains mild fantasy peril but remains appropriate for its young audience.
