Midgeons are the unlikely winners of magical-darwinism and they don't even know it. Long ago, these tiniest of all fairies were hunted almost to extinction by a mythical race of giants called humans. When the giants mysteriously disappeared, magic flourished and the midgeons' forest evolved into a fairy paradise where cupcakes grow as big as houses (well, fairy houses) and ripening fields of petit fours provide three mouthwatering meals a day. Now, that paradise is dying out and no one can figure out why. When four young cupcake-dwellers are chosen to search for help, they find themselves traveling through a world where everything is giant-sized, where fairies are expected to live in trees (of all places ) and where ancient enemies are now fellow survivors. And before their quest is over, these tiny travelers must face a giant-sized question: Can cupcake fairies save the world?
