Fairy in Waiting by Sophie Kinsella - ADVISABLE

Fairy in Waiting by Sophie Kinsella illustrated by Marta Kissi, 147 pages. Delacourte Press (Random House), 2018. $15. Content: G.

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Ella Brook is back - you know her, the girl whose mother is fairy? Well, no one knows she's a fairy - Ella has to keep that a secret, but they sure get in a lot a trouble together, Ella and her mom. When Ella and her mom are trying to find a lost parrot, they get turned into monkeys, that was easy, turning them back is much more difficult. A new antique wardrobe that needs repair has a magic all its own, and a family vacation to Florida may be cancelled after Ella's mom disappears everyone and everything in the airport. 

Sophie Kinsella knows how to write a funny story - even an easy read. I just know Ella's mom is going to start some big problem as soon as she decides to use magic! Good thing Ella has been listening to the fairy lessons, too. Otherwise she might not know how to save the day!
