Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister by Liz Kessler

3.0


Philippa is embarrassed by her parents, picked on and teased at school, and sad because her best friend just moved away. She wishes she had a fairy godmother who could make her life easier, but when a fairy named Daisy arrives, she is closer to Philippa's age, more like a fairy godsister. Daisy has the power to grant Philippa three wishes, and every wish goes horribly wrong. Daisy doesn't even like humans and just wants to get the job finished. Can these two let go of their bitterness and find some true happiness?

I loved this fun book! It's so cute and adorable. I loved how Philippa and Daisy both have character development in different directions, but their character arcs dovetail together beautifully.

I really liked the descriptions of Philippa's parents. They are wacky and funny all the time because they run a party business, and spend their days dressed up in costumes, doing magic tricks for kids birthday parties. Philippa is so embarrassed by their antics, but gradually she begins to appreciate the love and kindness in her home.

The worldbuilding is excellent, as we learn about the hierarchy of fairies when Daisy has to report to her superiors. I loved all the magic!
