Blind Fairy: Zahra of the Uwharries

by Micki Bare

Overview

Zahra, a scraebin about as tall as a wild dandelion, is summoned by her mentor fairy after cicadas emerge to lull her colony into a deep sleep. Zahra soon learns she is The Convener, a responsibility she doesn't want. After accepting her destiny, a turtle with amethyst eyes leads her to a lone, blind scraebin born with the markings of a fairy. Together, Zahra and the blind fairy must save the scraebin colonies. But when 12-year-old Brant, a human, snatches the blind fairy, and then Zahra suffers a concussion and injured wing, the obstacles appear too daunting to overcome.

Set in the Birkhead Wilderness of the Uwharrie Mountains in central North Carolina, Blind Fairy is the second book in the Zahra of the Uwharries series that chronicles Zahra's unique and critical role in saving her species.
