Fourth Grade Fairy Many years ago, humans and fairies were friends...until something bad happened. Some fairies decided it was more fun to play tricks on humans instead of grant wishes, which was their calling. Push came to shove and it was no longer safe to remain exposed to the newly named “humdrums” and so the fairies banded together and used their magic to cast a hiding spell, allowing them to blend in but remain in plain site to carry out their duties. The relationships between these two groups have been non-existent for many years, the thought of friendship lost in time…at least until now. Willow is a progressive fairy whose heartfelt wish is…to have a best friend. Good thing her birthday is coming up because that’s the perfect time for wishes! It’s not that she doesn’t have best friends currently, she does; Sasha and Adele to put names to their roles. The only thing is that they were best friends with each other first and so Willow often feels left out of the loop. Her solution? Well, since there seems to be a short supply of “single” fairies, making friends with a humdrum should do the trick as they are always looking for a new friend! Oh if it were only that simple…. The cover leads you to believe a cute little book lies within and it does not disappoint. When Willow first arrived at the humdrum school, her sights were initially set on becoming friends with the popular girls and learns from that mistake later on …but life is a learning experience after all (something her sister Lucinda learns the hard way after being a bit too much of a know-it-all). The supporting characters are wonderfully written as well and suit their roles perfectly. From the popular girls to the not-so-popular individuals, from Grandma Doyle to her sister Lucinda, their really isn’t one that you encounter living what you’d describe as falsely. Then we have the cast of animal characters who frankly they steal the show at times. From Lester the hamster to Winston the Scottie, Louise the cat and a grumbly old parrot, this motley crew is fantastic...and surprisingly more helpful than they first seem. Younger readers will enjoy the story at face value, revealing in the magic and fun; older readers will know who the "real" friend is right off the bat, but that comes with experience of course...and certainly does nothing to detract from the book. All in all, a wonderful book for readers of all ages plus a great reminder of our core lessons from childhood. It’s not what is on the outside, but what is inside that counts, illustrated wonderfully here...plus, being prejudice about something or someone based on a past encounter is simply bad judgment. Giving everyone their fair shake is the only way to go because you never really know what “magic” you’ll uncover in the most unlikely of places. The first book in the new "Fourth Grade Fairy" series, scheduled for release mid April. Happy reading! *read via Simon & Schuster Galley Grab ARC
