Violet and her fairy friend Sprite hatch a plan to catch Fixit, a toy-making elf whose lack of appreciation drives him to mess with all the toys in town, but pixies Rusella and Spoiler are determined to thwart Violet and Sprite's plans.

Two pixies are double trouble for Violet, Leon, and their fairy friend Sprite; they have to find a way to trick Bogey Bill, a goblin who loves Halloween and scaring people, and Buttercup who has cast a spell on the whole school that has all the children hiccuping uncontrollably--and with the help of a good fairy named Robert B. Gnome they come up with a way to deal with both at once.

Fourteen fairies have escaped into our world, all different, and all capable of causing great harm--and it is up to an eight-year-old girl named Violet and a Pixie Tricker, a fairy called Sprite-of-the-Green-Petals-from-the-Whispering-Woods, to trick them and send them back to their own world.
