Summary

Hilarious, original, enchanting. This is urban teenage humour at its best.

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.

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.

Critic reviews

"This vividly imagined story will charm readers." (Publishers Weekly)
Charlie is totally likable, smart, and sarcastic, a perfectly self-involved, insecure teen. At its core, [How To Ditch Your Fairy] is a typical coming-of-age story, but the addition of the fairies, the slightly alternative setting, and the made-up slang make it much more. This 'doos' (brilliant) fantasy will not be ditched." (School Library Journal)

For teenaged girls and like-minded adults!

Charlie is a typical teenaged girl and I think pretty much any girl would be able to imagine herself in Charlie's shoes. While I personally HATE sports I am actually able to sympathise when she gets so many demerits that she can't play. Charlie's world is crafted so expertly that the unbelievable becomes believable. Sports schools, fairies and Ours are Charlie's reality and it was so much fun to hear her story of how she ditched her parking fairy.
I'm definitely listening to this one again.
