"Welcome to New Avalon, where everyone has a personal fairy. Though invisible to the naked eye, a personal fairy, like a specialized good luck charm, is vital to success. And in the case of the students at New Avalon Sports High, it might just determine whether you make the team, pass a class, or find that perfect outfit. But for 14-year-old Charlie, having a Parking Fairy is worse than having nothing at all—especially when the school bully carts her around like his own personal parking pass. Enter: The Plan. At first, teaming up with arch-enemy Fiorenza (who has an All-The-Boys-Like-You Fairy) seems like a great idea. But when Charlie unexpectedly gets her heart’s desire, it isn’t at all what she thought it would be like, and she’ll have resort to extraordinary measures to ditch her fairy. The question is: will Charlie herself survive the fairy ditching experiment?"
Amazon Synopsis
I've read several reviews of this young-adult novel that really praise it. I found it very creative and different, but also annoying. The story centers almost exclusively on Charlie's quest to rid herself of a fairy and get a new one. There is a strong lesson about friendship which was nice and another one about accepting yourself or changing what you don't like. But, in the end, Charlie still needs a fairy to really excel. I wished it that part had been a bit different.
Rating: 3.5
