Synopsis

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

Goodreads review by Mike on July 26, 2016

I'm starting to think that Larbalestier should give up the novel business and become a professional blogger. Other than Liar (which was phenomenal), it looks like her novels are going to be mostly mediocre. Her blog, however, is actually really cool. It's probably my favorite author blog since Phoeb......more

Goodreads review by Anne on December 17, 2016

How to Ditch Your Fairy is a very cute book! It's for a middle grade audience. Our protagonist is Charlie (short for Charlotte), who is 14. In Charlie's world, many people have fairies -- unseen beings who help their human in some way. Charlie's best friend has a shopping fairy. Another friend has a neve......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on January 06, 2009

2.5 The story was face paced at times and really dragged through other parts. Overall, it's cute and those interested in "other worlds" and magic would like this read. However, the "other world" is poorly constructed. The invented language is not done well and not interesting (in fact, it's just frust......more

Goodreads review by Jackie on September 20, 2008

This book was a true giggle, set in a country that's not really Australia and not really the United States but sure seems similar to both. At New Avalon, kids work hard and go to very specialized schools, the center of this book being New Avalon Sports High, where they spend 10 hour days being monit......more
