How to Ditch your Fairy

More about this book

At New Avalon, everyone has a personal fairy - some less desirable than others: Charlie's fairy ensures that she always has a car park, which seems to pale in comparison to Fiorenze's all-the-boys-like-you fairy. Hilarious, original, enchanting, this is urban teenage humour at its best

Description

'Rochelle gets a clothes-shopping fairy and is always well attired; I get a parking fairy and always smell faintly of petrol. How fair is that?'

For Charlie, having a parking fairy is worse than having nothing at all - especially since she's not old enough to drive. Enter The Plan: swap fairies with her archenemy! But Charlie discovers that you ought to be careful what you wish for - and she'll have to resort to extraordinary measures to set things right.

From the author of the acclaimed Magic or Madness trilogy, this is a delightful story of friendships, fairies, and figuring out how to make your own magic.

'Magical, wonderful, fantastical, and sharp as a knife.' - Jaclyn Moriarty

'A sparkling, made-of-awesome book with an acerbic, lovable and snortingly-funny heroine, plus fairies, sport, action and boys - HTDYF has it all!' - Lili Wilkinson
