Peter Pixie lives in a toadstool which is right in the centre of a dark and big forest. Peter (along with all of the other Pixie children) has to attend Pixie school.
Travelling to the school isn't too bad as he rides on an acorn train with his best friend Jonathan, to the big oak tree school slap bang in the very heart of the forest.
When readers meet Peter it is a very special day for him because his class is to visit the Rescue Centre.
Whilst they are being shown around, a terrible calamity occurs! There is a real live emergency. A human is spotted and the human is hunting for mushrooms! The class of Pixie children are able to see a real rescue take place.
Will the members of the Pixie village manage to flee to freedom in time? What will happen to the human?
It's a fantastic story written and illustrated by author an artist Michael J. Woodward.
This book is published posthumously as Mr Woodward died prior to its publication.
It's published by Matador at £7.99 and will make a most excellent Christmas present for the little Pixies in your life!
