Fourth Grade Fairy [Paperback]

All Willow Doyle wants is to be normal, to fit in at her new school, and to have a best friend. But there’s no way Willow will ever be normal. There isn’t anything normal about her or the Doyle family.

Willow comes from a long line of fairy godmothers and she’s expected to be one too when the time comes. (At the moment she’s merely sprite status.) Maybe that would be cool if it were like the old days when the humans -- known as humdrums -- knew fairy godmothers existed and the fairies didn’t have to keep their fairy status secret. Now they’re stuck helping humans who don’t even believe in them. Rather than help normals, Willow would rather be human. She’s sick of being weird.

When she's given the chance to attend a humdrum elementary school for two weeks, this is Willow's chance to finally experience a normal life -- but will she be able to fit in? And can she find her best friend there, even if her parents discourage making friends with humans?Fourth Grade Fairy

Why having an older sister is a pain:

• She never lets you touch her stuff.

• She bosses you around all the time.

• She acts like she knowseverything.

• Your parents will let her do all kinds of things that you aren’t allowed to do.

• She gets all the new outfits and you have to wear hand-me-downs (even though her favorite color is green, which you hate).

I can think of a lot more reasons, but I would need more paper. Everyone is always surprised to find out Lucinda is my sister. This is because stuff has never spilled on her shirt and her hair never sticks up. She always remembers to say thank you, please, and excuse me. My sister alwayshas her homework done on time, she never snorts when she laughs. Oh, and she can fly.
