In this hilarious, highly illustrated new chapter book series, lovable newbie fairy Oona has big ideas, only her magic always seems to go a little wonky. But she won't let that stop her!
Oona Bramblegoop is a Newbie fairy, and she's determined to do big things, especially if they can impress her idol, the Tooth Fairy. There's just one problem: Oona's magic never goes quite how she planned. Oona's protection spells work great, but only if you don't mind getting a wedgie from a pair of magical underwear. And don't even mention the smell disaster that resulted from her first fire spell . . . yikes! Good thing Oona is creative, and she never gives up, no matter how surprising her magic gets.
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.

Gr 2-4--In this new chapter book series, Oona is a newbie fairy whose magic doesn't always go the way she hopes. She's a slug fairy, and did you know slug slime is essential to the entire fairy world? Fun fairy facts pop up in footnotes like, "Newbies have little wings and magic so small they have to say it out loud for it to work." There is humor for all ages: Oona struggles to put bow ties on slugs, but they have no necks, so the ties end up looking like belts. The image on the page shows a slug holding a sign saying, "I prefer pearls." Oona tries to be the tooth fairy's sidekick but is not accepted until she helps the tooth fairy protect one of the children. However, when both fairies are spotted by the child (which is against fairy rules), the tooth fairy loses her job. Can Oona help her get it back? Altés brings Oona and her high jinks in fairy world to life with delightful, burgundy-tone cartoon drawings. VERDICT This is a fun chapter book for budding readers. Sure to appeal to fans of the "Rainbow Magic Fairies" series and "Unicorn Diaries."--Heidi Dechief
