Loading... How to Ditch Your Fairyby Justine Larbalestier
Amazon preorder  romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  How To Ditch Your Fairy was kind of boring to me through not really being my thing. It's less about fantasy and more about teenage girls, and managed to be really predictable to me as well. And, you know, all the slang that I've come to accept as standard in a Larbalestier book... I don't know. Teenage girls being teenage girls felt about right, but the amount of slang was a bit too much, and yeah, with teenage girls being teenage, it felt very, very juvenile. Just... not absorbing, to me. (  ) shanaqui | Apr 9, 2013 | Tones of Louise Rennison. 14-year-old Charlie has no idea how she got stuck with a parking fairy-- she can't even drive!-- when her schoolmates have shopping fairies and clear skin fairies and "make every boy like you" fairies that actually do some good. Will Steffi, the new boy at school, ever realize that Charlie is the girl for him, even if her fairy is doing NOTHING to help her cause? (  ) KimJD | Apr 8, 2013 | A cute and imaginative little read. The slang had me cracking up, as did the premise. The only question I had at the end of the book is why the New Avaloners have the attitude they do. This is never explained to my satisfaction. (  ) mephistia | Apr 6, 2013 | This was heaps of fun. I would enjoy more books in the New Avalon world. Not just more about Charlie and her friends, but her sister (who is great) and the world Larbalestier has built, too. ( ) veracite | Apr 5, 2013 |
 Larbalastier's gift for language and dialect comes through as clearly here as it did in Magic and Madness, but this book is a lot lighter, more fun, and funnier, with tons of brilliant little comedy licks arising from the interplay of different fairies in Charlie's social circle.

In a world in which everyone has a personal fairy who tends to one aspect of daily life, fourteen-year-old Charlie decides she does not want hers--a parking fairy--and embarks on a series of misadventures designed to rid herself of the invisible sprite and replace it with a better one, like her friend Rochelle's shopping fairy.… (more)
