'''The Sprite Sister Stories''' are a series of [[Fantasy literature|fantasy novels]] written by Sheridan Winn and aimed at readers aged 7-12 years. The idea for the stories - four sisters who each have a magic power related to one of the four elements - popped up when Winn was writing in her diary late one night in January 2007. A few days later, she approached Piccadilly Press’s Brenda Gardn(contracted; show full)'''Ottalie Sprite''' She is the wife of Colin Sprite and the mother of Flame, Marina, Ash and Ariel.She has very caring nature and also loves  Verena like her own daughter.

==The Books==

The first five Sprite Sisters stoires are set within one year of the girls' lives, from June to Christmas.

'''Book One: The Circle of Power''' 

‘I’ve got a magic trick!’ said Ariel. ‘Watch!’
She pointed her finger at Flame’s purple bra. It lifted off the chair and hovered in the air. Marina and Ash laughed.⏎
Each of the Sprite Sisters, between nine and thirteen, has a magical power related to one of the four elements – Earth, Water, Fire and Air. When Ariel discovers her power on her ninth birthday, their circle is complete. The girls’ magic must be kept secret, and used only for good; if not, the consequences could be dire.
 
The Sprites’ big house in the country is full of laughter and sunshine, but a shadow is falling. Everything the Sprite Sisters hold dear will soon be shattered by the arrival of someone who is intent on destroying their power. It is Glenda Glass, their grandmother's old enemy, who has come to take care of Verena (her granddaughter), whose mother has run away. At Drysdales School, Flame and Verena compete and are enemeis. Glenda is intent on getting possession of Sprite Towers. At the school concert, in which the four Sprite Sisters are playing, Glenda uses her dark power to hurt Ash. The Sprite Sisters form the Circle of Power, to repel her attacks. Glenda ends up hurting only herself and school wins the concert competition.

'''Book Two: The Magic Unfolds'''
The wind tore through the attics, it tore around the towers and through the garden. Tiles spun from the roof and crashed on the ground below. The huge house shook and let out an almighty roar. Ariel Ash and Marina screamed.⏎
The Sprite Sisters’ home, Sprite Towers, is under threat. The roof is leaking and their enemy, the ruthless Glenda Glass, is determined to have the house for herself. Tensions are mounting between the girls as they prepare for the most important concert of their lives. Can the Sprite Sisters resolve their differences and summon all their magic powers to save Sprite Towers?

'''Book Three: The Secret of the Towers '''
‘Ariel’s gone!’ screamed Marina. ‘She’s disappeared!’
The three Sprite Sisters stared in horror at the bridge of light.
‘Where is she? What’s happened?’ shouted Ash, her face white with terror.
Flame gasped. ‘I think Ariel has passed through the portal!’
‘We must find her!’ shouted Marina. ‘But how?’⏎
The summer holidays bring [[campfire]]s and newfound freedom to the Sprite Sisters. When they find the key that promises to unlock the secret of Sprite Towers, it seems the magic of the mysterious old house is about to be released. But danger is lurking in their midst. Are the Sprite Sisters’ powers strong enough to save them from the dark side of the Sprite family?

'''Book Four: The Ghost in the Tower'''
‘It’s real – I tell you, it’s a real ghost!’ gasped Marina, her face fraught with terror.
‘But where did it come from?’ cried Ariel.
‘Glenda’s called it up,’ said Ash, her eyes wide. ‘She’s evoked the ghost of her evil great-grandmother.’
The blood drained from Flame’s face. ‘Margaret?’ she cried. ‘Not her! Oh please, not her!’⏎
When Glenda Glass conjures up the ghost of her wicked ancestor, Margaret, the atmosphere at Sprite Towers gets exceedingly chilly, and the Sprite Sisters’ [[Hallowe'en]] party turns into something far more sinister than anybody had planned. With Grandma away, only the sisters can rid Sprite Towers of the phantom - and that means entering the portal in the tower and risking their lives to change the future.

'''Book Five: New Magic'''
‘There’s a strange feeling in my fingers,’ said Verena, staring at her hands. ‘My grandmother says I’ve inherited the Sprite magic power.’
Flame saw Verena’s frightened eyes. What should she do? If she talked about their magic power, she might lose her own.
‘Please help me, Flame!’ cried Verena. ‘I’m terrified of what my grandmother may do!’⏎
When the Sprite Sisters’ distant cousin, Verena Glass, inherits the magic power of the Sprite family, her evil grandmother Glenda Glass sees a way to get rid of the Sprite Sisters for once and all. A deadly battle begins as Glenda pushes her granddaughter towards using dark power. Flame, Marina, Ash and Ariel will only be free if they solve the mystery of the crossed circle – but that means trusting Verena ...

'''"Book Six: The Boy With Hawk-Like Eyes"'''
‘Zak turned to Ariel, ‘Have you ever thought about flying?’
Ariel blinked. ‘In an aeroplane?’
‘No. Lifting your arms and soaring into the air.’
Ariel’s mouth dropped as she stared at Zak. She could feel his hawk-like eyes boring into her and the colour rising in her cheeks. She had been flying over Sprite Towers last night! What should she say? ‘No,’ she said, with a big shake of her head. ‘Why, have you?’
Zak grinned. ‘Yes, often - flying is cool.’’
It’s over a year and a half since the Sprite Sisters have used their magic powers of Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Amidst much teenage bickering, Flame and Marina are busy with their social lives and even Ash seems to have forgotten her magic. Only Ariel wonders about it. Just as she harnesses her power of Air to learn to fly, anew boy comes to Sprite Towers and the family is threatenedby the invasion of terrifying insect-like creatures.With dark magic unleashed inthe oldhouse and the air turning poisonous, the Sprite Sisters must quickly find a way to remember their powers.⏎
