In Mallory, Mallory: The Revenge of the Tooth Fairy, James Norcliffe writes a thrilling tale about the adventures of Mallory and Arthur. Mallory captures the tooth fairy and tries to blackmail her into giving her money; but you really shouldn’t try and capture a magical creature.

The story starts with Mallory’s loose tooth. When Mallory realises that she has a loose tooth, she hatches her (top secret) plan:

1. Borrow Dad‘s razor bag
2. Attach tooth to cotton
3. Attach other end of cotton to finger
4. Put tooth into bag
5. Hide bag under pillow
6. Go to bed
7. Try to stay awake all night, or stay half-awake and rely on the cotton
8. When the tooth fairy comes and climbs into the bag to get the tooth, pull the drawstring on the bag, trapping the tooth fairy inside
9. Keep the tooth fairy prisoner.
