About the book
High in the sky above Parkville, tooth fairies April and Esme Underhill are on their way to collect their very first tooth. They've never collected a tooth before. Mum and Dad always do it. But tonight it's their turn. So, equipped with a bag, a coin and a mobile phone, the sisters head for Daniel Dangerfield's house, and a very unusual first tooth visit!
