Maybe we have toots fairies that help with our smells we do not like, and they are somewhat noisy. Children can learn at the same time about toots and what we eat. They may get a coin without knowing it. This book teaches that in a sweet way.
Pictures are down well. I wish I had a print copy of this book, but otherwise, it was a decent book and enjoyable. I know I have not read a book that is like this book. Children seem to enjoy fairies and like the story behind this book.
Ever wonder where those mysterious coins that you might have left behind in the yard or didn't know you dropped? It's possible someone or something left it for you to find. Fairies seem to have different careers, and maybe one misspoke. Parents can use this to help teach a child or children about the food we eat and what comes out of our bottom.

There is a mystery at the start of this. Cassandra Tipp has disappeared, and her niece and nephew have been told that after a year they can have her worldly goods if they go to her house, find the manuscript she has left them and deduce a code word.
This book is that story.
It transpires that Cassie has been involved in the death of three people: her husband Tommy Tipp, her father and her brother. But how did she get away with it? Or more importantly: who did it if she didn’t? And who is Pepper Man?
Ok, I don’t want to give too much away, but fairies are involved from the beginning, and they’re unlike the fairies I’ve read about in the past. They come with a fascinating origin story, and I’d be interested to know if they were a construct of the authors imagination, or whether they’re a Norwegian version of the fairies I’ve learnt about with my Anglo-Irish background. Either way, they’re great characters.
There’s also a chance that child abuse is involved, either by humans or fairies, it all depends on what you read in to things that happen, whether or not you believe that Cassie is in fact sane. Some of the violence is pretty graphic too, and did put some Pigeonhole readers off.
It’s a puzzling book, a book where you’re never sure whether the narrator is reliable. And I loved it. So, if you like quirky, puzzling, violent(ish), dark books, with fairies (or perhaps not) and potentially with characters with mental health issues, then you’ll enjoy this book as much as I did. It was a satisfying, startling ten days with The Pigeonhole!
