In the second book of this hilarious, highly illustrated chapter book series, lovable Underwear Fairy Oona has to call on all of her sideways magic when she accidentally leads a human boy up to Blackberry Bog. Text and illustrations are printed in blue!
Oona loves being the Underwear Fairy, which means she gets to deliver magical safety undies with wedgie power that keeps human children from falling down and hurting themselves. But when she gets trapped in the human world by Marco, a boy who wants to take a photo of her to prove fairies are real, she’s horrified—don’t let humans see you is one of fairydom’s most important rules!
Luckily, her cousin Horace and best friend Lucy (also known as the Tooth Fairy) help her get free. But then things get even more disastrous—Marco follows them back up to Blackberry Bog!
Can Oona and her friends get Marco safely back to the human world before he does too much damage—and before the Fairy Council finds out?
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.
Praise for Newbie Fairy:
“There is humor for all ages…with delightful, burgundy-tone cartoon drawings. This is a fun chapter book for budding readers Sure to appeal to fans of the “Rainbow Magic Fairies” series and “Unicorn Diaries”.”—School Library Journal “The sweet series opener is packed with goofy humor, whimsical footnotes, and amusing illustrations sure to keep young readers enthralled. . . It’s a lighthearted affair, but it also sneaks in wisdom about perseverance and ingenuity alongside the silliness. A fresh fairy tale with lots of laughs.” —Booklist
“Though there’s plenty of wacky humor, the book also folds in sound messages about persistence, teamwork, and constructive responses to criticism. [Oona] makes for a delightfully unlikely hero—the potential for future Bramblegoop adventures is high.”—Kirkus
Praise for A Boy in the Fairy World: “This second installment of Bramblegoopian misadventures is filled with delightfully off-kilter schemes, set in a world that blends the quirky with the cute. Flowery, slug-speckled illustrations and footnotes with facts about the fairy world enhance the upbeat narrative and leave Oona poised to play detective in what promises to be an equally humorous third outing. . . Fun, funky, and imaginative.”–Kirkus
