Books like No flying in the house by Betty Brock
Most little girls have parents to take care of them, but not Annabel Tippens. She has Gloria, a tiny white dog who talks and wears a gold collar. Annabel never thought it was strange that she had Gloria instead of real parents. Until one day a cat named Belinda comes to tell her the truth: she's not just a little girl, she's half-fairy! Annabel can do lots of things other kids can't, such as kissing her own elbow and flying around the house. But being a fairy isn't all fun and games. Soon Annabel must make a choice. If she chooses to be a fairy, she'll have to say goodbye to her dearest friend, Gloria. How can she decide between her newly found magic and her loyal dog?
