How to Ditch Your Fairy is about a made-up country called New Avalon, where everyone has a fairy. Charlie is stuck with a dreadful parking fairy and thinks that it is utterly unfair. People are constantly "barrowing" her when they have to go somewhere with potentially bad parking. Why is she loaded down with her fairy instead of her friend's shopping fairy, which makes sure she always find the most flattering outfits at the lowest prices? Or the self explanatory "never-get-in-trouble" fairy? Or better yet, the "every-boy-likes-you" fairy? She can't figure it out. She decides to trade fairies with Fio, her arch-nemesis who has an "every-boy-likes-you" fairy. Will it be any better??? Find out in How to Ditch Your Fairy.

Opinion: 

I can honestly say that this book was as good or better than my favorite series Magic or Madness written by the same author. It was by far the best fantasy book that I have ever read, possibly the best book I have ever read. It had an extremely different vocabulary though; a lot of the words were author originals. Read this book only if you are okay with flipping back and forth from the story to the glossary. I am planning on recommending it to all of my friends.
