Pixie always leaves glittery footprints on my keyboard when she's been up to monkey #business. Today she reduced her first big story to just 99¢/99p. So if you love her & Gabe's tweet-sized adventures, maybe you'd like 228 pages of them.

Pixie's pranks? So outrageous she ended up in Faery Court. Gabe's rule book? 365 pages long.
She treats consequences like confetti. He files complaints in triplicate.
But when reality starts to unravel, the dysfunctional duo morph into a world-saving #synthesis.
