When Yasmina graduates Ms Gillyflower’s Finishing School for Fairies she is reluctant to guard a tall tower (she’s afraid of dragons) or live in a tumbledown cottage (she has horrible hayfever). Instead, she moves into a narrowboat on Gossamer River, and is tasked with looking after the local wildlife. However, she soon discovers that the water is being polluted by the Wizard of Waste, who is determined to turn the river into a rubbish dump. Yasmina must rally the community, but will she be able to defeat the Wizard of Waste?

I had the idea for The Fairy of Gossamer River when I lived near the canal in Oxford. I was amazed by how beautiful it was, how much wildlife it supported, and how much enjoyment people got from the stretch of water. Finding out that sewage was being dumped in the river inspired a story about someone putting a stop to it!
