How to Ditch Your Fairy Kate Atkinson

Grade Level: 7-9 Age Level: 12-14 Listening Level: Grades 7-9 If you lived in a world where everyone had a personal fairy, what kind would you want? * A clothes-shopping fairy (The perfect outfit will always be on sale!) * A loose-change fairy (Pretty self-explanatory.) * A never-getting-caught fairy (You can get away with anything. . . .) Unfortunately for Charlie, she's stuck with a parking fairy -- if she's in the car, the driver will find the perfect parking spot. Tired of being treated like a personal parking pass, Charlie devises a plan to ditch her fairy for a more useful model. At first, teaming up with her archenemy (who has an all-the-boys-like-you fairy) seems like a good idea. But Charlie soon learns there are consequences for messing with fairies -- and she will have to resort to extraordinary measures to set things right again. "Welcome to your new obsession! Not only will you believe in fairies after reading this book, you will know what kind you have." -- Maureen Johnson, author of 13 Little Blue Envelopes
