The two of them not only take care of animals, but also fairies, goblins and other mythical creatures! It's not easy to keep this secret - especially from Briana, the most unfriendly girl in Ruby's class. When Bri’s father’s fishing nets are destroyed, Briana suspects a pack of seals and is determined to drive them away. But Ruby suspects that something else is behind this. Something completely magical... And indeed: a little mermaid had become entangled in the fishing net!

What happens in Volume 2: Ruby finally has a best friend! Together with Bri, everything is much more fun. A pony race, for example. The winner gets a bag of candy from Kathleen's bakery. But as soon as they gallop away, Ruby discovers a little leprechaun with burn blisters. Then a fairy with scorched hair shows up – another burn? Something's not right! And indeed: a baby dragon with a cold has lost its way in the human world and sets Farmer Orin's barn on fire with its cough. Bri rescues the animals while Ruby has an idea: she makes cough drops for the dragon in Kathleen's bakery. The candies cure the little dragon's cough, and the fairy brings him back to fairyland to his parents. RUBY FAIRYGALE 02 – The Secret from the Fairy World no. 1112 July 2022

Sample Translation Nobody usually came to the North Beach. The islanders believed that it was haunted. But I wasn't afraid of ghosts or spirits. Besides, I knew exactly what to expect in the small secluded bay. As always, the stony beach looked a bit gloomy. It was surrounded by high cliffs. There was an old rowboat on the shore, and the tiny shed we now reached didn't look very magical either. But inside it hid something incredible and thoroughly magical! Slowly I opened the door and said into the deep darkness, "Let there be light!" In an instant, the magic revealed itself: as if hundreds of candles were lit all at once, the room shone with bright, warm light.
