Description

In this hilarious, highly illustrated new chapter book series, lovable newbie fairy Oona has big ideas, only her magic always seems to go a little wonky. But she won't let that stop her! Oona Bramblegoop is a Newbie fairy, and she's determined to do big things, especially if they can impress her idol, the Tooth Fairy. There's just one problem- Oona's magic never goes quite how she planned. Oona's protection spells work great, but only if you don't mind getting a wedgie from a pair of magical underwear. And don't even mention the smell disaster that resulted from her first fire spell . . . yikes! Good thing Oona is creative, and she never gives up, no matter how surprising her magic gets. Packed with Fun Fairy Facts, humor, and lots of heart, this magical series celebrates finding friendship and your place in the world, even if you fit in a little sideways.

Reviews

Praise for Newbie Fairy:

Though theres plenty of wacky humor, the book also folds in sound messages about persistence, teamwork, and constructive responses to criticism. And a fairy who socializes with gastropods and conjures up undergarments makes for a delightfully unlikely herothe potential for future Bramblegoop adventures is high. Kirkus Reviews
