Imagine if you had your very own fairy with a special talent, like an every-boy-likes-you fairy or a good-hair-always fairy. You’d be happy right? Well to 14-year-old Charlie, it’s a nightmare. She has a lame parking fairy so no matter where she goes (in a car) she will get the best parking spot. Not the best fairy to have since she can’t drive. Still it’s not too bad right?
Wrong. Now Charlie is facing a whole new problem. A group of seniors is up to something. One senior that she knows will not stop bugging her to help him get a good parking spot — but for what?
When she says no one too many times, he tries to kidnap her. Now Charlie really wants to ditch her fairy, but is it even possible?
“How to Ditch Your Fairy” is the story of Charlie’s quest to ditch her fairy, get the guy and keep her sanity throughout her crazy adventures. This is a really good and funny book. It made me wonder what kind of fairy I would have. I decided I would want a never-get-caught fairy so I could do whatever I wanted.
This is a book filled with humor and peer pressures that any 14-year-old will get. By the end of the book the reader knows that if they don’t like something in their life it’s up to them to change it.
