Tales of Amanda O' by M. B. Jewell At four years old, Amanda has manifested brilliant and sometimes, out-of-this world, abilities. She has x-ray vision that allows her to see through Christmas presents, to the dismay of her parents. She can disappear and reappear, although, at her age, she has not mastered this skill. Her parents have no explanation for their daughter's uncanny abilities, but Queen Arelis of Fairyland has. The family of Arelis has an old legend about a handsome young fairy who fell in love with a beautiful mortal woman many years ago. Their line would bear an extremely intelligent child with fairy abilities, yet still mortal. Queen Arelis, for some time, has been watching the little girl with impressive capabilities. She believes that Amanda is the descendant of her family's ancestor.
