Children's Book Review: At War with the Tooth Fairy, by Rolf Heimann
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

Rory is not happy with the work the tooth fairies do.




Rory has discovered that the tooth fairies are not as sweet and loving as they're made out to be. So he's set out to teach them a lesson.

When he turns up at school showing the signs of his battle with two very feisty fairies, he is teased mercilessly and punished by his teacher for lying. Then Rory meets the Bullyboss, an evil, toady looking creature, who congratulates him on his behaviour and encourages him to join the 'bully brotherhood'.

At War With the Tooth Fairies is a funny tale with a gentle moral. Heimann's characters are humorous and well-rounded, with Rory being believably human, even as his lesson is learnt.

At War With the Tooth Fairies is a Start-Ups Level 2 title from Lothian, likely to appeal to 8 to 10 year olds as they make the change from illustration-dependent stories to junior novels.
