Zelly sees her first fairy at her Grandmother's funeral. Zelly and her mother have come to take over Plunkit Books in the town where her mother grew up and got married. Zelly hasn't seen her father since she was little and wants to know more about him. Zelly and her new friends discover Whistle, who explains the veil between the two worlds becomes thin when he caught Zelly's mood and concentrated on her. The explanation is convincingly contrived to explain how the girl and fairy Whistle can communicate. Zelly's mother doesn't even remember she once had the talent to be able to see the other world.
