                “Winning any place in the Purple Dragonfly Contest is a huge honor because in order to maintain the integrity of the Dragonfly Book Awards, a minimum score is required before a First or Second place or Honorable Mention will be awarded to the entrant – even if it is the sole entry in a category,” explains Linda F. Radke, president of Story Monsters LLC, the sponsor of the Dragonfly Book Awards. “International competition is steep, too, because there is no publication date limit as long as the book is still in print.”

Join them on a series of magical adventures and mishaps as she discovers her magical powers and their hilarious pitfalls, imaginative language will keep you “wide eyed as a bush baby after a double espresso” throughout!
