Pom jumped between the components of the engine, her fairy wings unable to move in the cramped space. The air was mildewy and made her lungs hurt, but she wanted to try to get to the root of the car malfunctioning. Whilst fairies weren’t usually interested in any sort of automotive repair, Pom had developed …
In the bustling suburb of Bentleigh, Victoria, amidst the roar of engines and the scent of petrol, a unique character stands out from the crowd.
