Henrietta

A shot rang out from inside the bedroom.The man took it in the gut and dropped to his knees with a howl of pain.Another shot followed, and the flashlight clattered to the floor.Now the man in the kitchen raised his weapon and fired toward the muzzle flash. He let off half a magazine, and someone inside the room let out a shriek. Then - silence.The dropped flashlight lit up the bedroom from the floor, casting two shadows writhing on the wall. Someone was crawling, trying to get away.The man in the kitchen aimed toward the doorway and fired again - this time at the wall. But the shadows ducked behind a bed and vanished.He didn't dare move into the hallway. Instead, he sat with his back to the kitchen table, eyes locked on the hallway, waiting for any sign of movement. From Sweden. Born of the icy wind on the coast and shaped by the dark upbringing in the north.

In the third fabulous Henrietta story, when Henrietta sets a trap for "something" under her bed, she finds a teeny tiny person with wings I'm Henrietta and there's a strange and ominous scuffling noise under my bed. I can tell it's not a crocodile and I'm sure it's not a rhino and it absolutely can't be a monster because monsters lurk in dark misty lakes, not under beds. So who could it be? One thing I do know is it's time to make some discoveries. When Henrietta finds Mabel May Hissop sleeping in her sock, she discovers not only a small fairy with a big problem, but also a big way to explore the small things in life. With Mabel's special silver key and an invitation to the Big Bunch of Small Creatures Ball, Henrietta opens the door to a very sparkly adventure.
