Nixie the bad, bad fairy isn't really that bad… at least, she doesn't think she is. But sometimes she has to be a teeny-tiny bit bad because that goody-goody fairy, Adorabella, is just too… well… just too GOOD. Fairy dust and magic are fine, but when your wand's as mischievous as you are, sometimes you have to rely on your own genius inventions to get you out of trouble!
