Jane vs. the Tooth Fairy

by Betsy Jay, Lori Osiecki (Illustrator)

If you loved Jane's spunk in Swimming Lessons, you won't be disappointed with her sequel. Jane has reached another rite of passage, and this time she's up against the tooth fairy.Jane has a loose tooth and her parents are thrilled: "You're such a big girl these days!" Jane, on the other hand, is not as happy. When Jane tells Momma that she needs a false tooth like Grandma's to replace her loose one, Momma tells Jane that her tooth will grow back. But Jane thinks the one she has works just fine and she wants to keep it!

When she learns that the tooth fairy sneaks around at night, Jane is even more convinced that she must do everything she can to keep her loose tooth in place. Try as she might, Jane can't prevent her tooth from falling out. But once it's out, Jane has a very clever idea which makes her realize that a visit from the tooth fairy might not be so bad after all.
