Jazzberry and Fidget

Annie is a normal eight-year old girl who can't focus on her school lessons. One night her life changes forever when she dreams that a tiny, beautiful fairy and a bumbling, poodle-sized dragon wake her from sleep. They ask her to visit them in the woods near her house the next day, and though she knows it was just a dream, she goes there after school.
But the dream was real. Jazzberry the fairy and Fidget the dragon meet her there and ask Annie to help them. Her uncle Dennis is planning to tear down their woods and build a housing development, which will doom all the fairies and dragons that have been living secretly in those woods for ages. They need her to convince her uncle to stop the project.
How can a little girl convince a grown man and his business partners to give up millions of dollars in profits? Annie convinces Jazzberry and Fidget to break their rules about secrecy and change Dennis's mind. What if it was not just the fate of the fairies and dragons at stake? What if the misguided development threatened the entire world?
As the bulldozers get ready to roll and Dennis goes off the deep end, planning eco-terrorism strikes that will certainly fail, it's up to Annie—flunking-history Annie, bullied Annie, eight-year old Annie—to come up with a plan to save the world.
