Ella even imagines what her first spell would be: a glittery unicorn of her very own. But Ella knows that spells are often harder than they look, even with the special fairy apps available...and being a fairy in waiting is not all rainbows and butterflies.

This is the third book in the really cute series of Fairy Mom and Me. My daughter absolutely loves this series and is waiting for the next edition. The covers are all so aesthetically pleasing, colorful and really catches the kids attention. My daughter loved all the little stories and it became a little routine where she would sit and summarize each story to me, laughing and giggling at the funny scenarios the characters were placed in. Even if this wasn't a book for me, I thoroughly enjoy the time with my daughter, hearing her enjoyment.

Ella is back with another fantastical tale and, as if being a Fairy isn’t exciting enough already, she’s discovered even more reasons to want to be just like her mom. From magical spells that make their car invisible and fly high above the traffic, to heaping helpings of spaghetti, and chocolate fountains in their kitchen, there is never a dull moment in Ella’s life.A picnic with Aunty Jo and Mom is sure to garner giggles from young readers when a rainbow spell goes hysterically awry and transforms the animals around them into whirling, twirling, dancers – complete with perfect, purple ballet shoes!Just when things seem to be getting back to normal, Mom downloads the new app, Auto-Spell on her laptop and the results are disastrously funny. Auto-Spell claims to read your mind and will then cast the spell for you. Or so it claims! Even Fairy apps can have glitches, and this is a big one!Fairy Unicorn Wishes by Sophie Kinsella is the third book in a wonderfully humorous and charming series. Delightful black and white illustrations frequent the story and boost the imagination. A fun-filled activity guide ends the book giving young readers a place to doodle or draw their own Fairy wishes and seek out magical words in a word search.A definite addition to every wanna-be Fairy's bookcase! We’re already looking forward to book 4, Fairy Mermaid Magic!Many thanks to LibraryThing for selecting me to receive an early reviewer’s copy of this lovely book.

I have all the books in this series and the students love how it is okay when things sometimes don’t go the way you want them to. Great illustrations help bring the story to life.

In this very sweet book, Ella's mom is a fairy — but not a very disciplined fairy. Fairies have adopted 21-century technologies, so Ella's friends never suspect her mother's magical powers. Lucky Ella!This book presents four linked chapter-book-style stories for readers who are ready to move into independent reading or who have the attention span to listen to a longer story read aloud. The illustrations supporting the book are soft and charming — helpful for readers still working to make sense of print.The stories themselves are highly feminized — unsurprising if you've read Sophie Kinsella's novels for adult readers — but present strong, identifiable female figures in active roles. There's also a recurring theme of girl-on-girl bullying, which may lead to productive discussions between readers.It's not for every reader, but FAIRY UNICORN WISHES will delight a segment of the market. A good selection for classrooms and public libraries — the book is one in a series that could step readers into the WHATEVER AFTER series, into Harry Potter, or into a broader selection of fantasy. And as readers age, there are numerous Sophie Kinsella novels awaiting them in the future.
