Product Information

Kirsty: Perfect! The goblins are green like the leaves, so they'll be well hidden until they wake up. The girls and India watch as Mrs. Palmer takes Ellie into the house. Kirsty and Rachel immediately run toward the stroller, with India following them. But before they reach it, two of the goblins appear) India: Really? (sighs) Without the moonstone, the fairies' power to send sweet dreams to the human world is fading. That's why you had a nightmare, Rachel. Queen Titania quietly chants a spell that would later be used for the Jewel Fairies' Ultimate Spell. A picture appears in the water) India: Thank you, girls. I have to go home now, but I hope you help the other Jewel Fairies find their magic jewels, too.

King Oberon: The jewels must be returned to the crown before the Jewel Fairies run out of magic completely. Kirsty: We could throw a ball over the fence. Then we could ask the Palmers to let us into their yard to find it. Rachel: This is the Palmers' house. It's only three doors down from my house, on the corner of the street. King Oberon: But the jewels do control some of the most important kinds of fairy magic. They are in charge of things like flying, wishes, and sweet dreams. Some people have already started to have nightmares!

Mrs. Palmer: Go right through, girls. I'm going to run upstairs for a minute. Ellie's in her stroller on the patio, if you want to say hello.

Mrs. Palmer: It's really strange, Rachel. Ellie always has trouble sleeping. Yesterday, we got this mobile for her stroller, and she's been sleeping so well. Something seems to be upsetting her today, though. She's been restless all morning. Rachel: (voice over) The moonstone! No wonder Ellie's been sleeping well. She must've had really sweet dreams!
