Lavinia and the Magic Ring

by Bianca Pitzorno, Laura Watkinson, Quentin Blake

________________________________________

One freezing Christmas Eve in Milan, seven-year-old Lavinia, a modern-day match girl, is alone and starving. Everyone is hurrying home to be with their families, and they have no time to help the little girl.
A fairy arrives in a taxi, and Lavinia gives her a light for free. The grateful fairy gives Lavinia a gift: a magic ring. Its special power? It allows the wearer to turn anything into poo – and back again. Lavinia is horrified and disgusted at first, but she soon works out how to use the ring to her advantage.
