Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister is a new book by Liz Kessler, author of the Emily Windsnap books. This book is about Philippa, a shy, average 11-year-old. When Philippa's best friend moves away, Philippa is devastated. Luckily, Philippa is sent a fairy godmother in the form of a new girl in her class--Daisy. However, fairy Daisy doesn't like humans--particularly Philippa--and just wants to get the 3 wishes granted and over with. This book tells what happens as Philippa and Daisy deal with granted wishes and try to make the best of what happens.
This was a cute book. It was very predictable, but probably only because I'm a 23-year-old reading a book for kids in elementary school. :) Philippa is a likable character, and her parents are very entertaining. This book was fun to read and is a unique approach to a fairy godmother story. Like other books by Liz Kessler, I recommend it for elementary-aged girls.
Rating: * * (2/3 = Liked it)
I'm gonna read it anyway, although you only recommended it for elementary-ages girls. :) I love Liz Kessler.
ReplyDeleteMolly--I should've said that I recommend it for elementary-aged girls...and grown-up girls like us (and Katherine).
