Book Overview
New from the author of the best-selling Emily Windsnap series A tale of a girl and her reluctant fairy guardian sparkles with magic and charm. Philippa Fisher would like nothing more than to summon a fairy. Still, she is taken aback when Daisy, the new girl at school, announces that she is Philippa's fairy godmother or godsister, since they're both the same age. Though the fairy is none too pleased with her mission, she is obliged to see it through and grant her human charge the customary three wishes. Now, if only Philippa would wish for something that makes her life better, not worse With warmth and whimsy, the creator of Emily Windsnap whisks a traditional theme into a contemporary setting to tell a story of friendship, luck, and how we decide what we really want."

Philippa Fisher tales are perfect books for girls who love mermaids! Great story, hope there will be more coming out, my daughter loves them!
Perfect reading for all Emily Windsnap fans
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is the PERFECT follow on from the Emily Windsnap books! Every young girl (and many adults too!) will relate to Philippa Fisher and the problems and situations she faces. And the character of Daisy (the fairy) is intriguing and original. Yes, she may be a little bad-tempered to begin with, but as you read on, you begin to understand why. And the fact that fairies have their own lessons to learn is a lovely idea. She may not be the traditional wand-holding fairy, but then Emily Windsnap isn't a traditional hair-brushing mermaid either! And like the Emily Windsnap books, this book has a wonderful message for young girls: be yourself, be happy with what you've got, be good to your friends, believe in magic - and in fairies!

My 7 year old loved this book and the Emily Windnap books also by Liz Kessler. Once she read the first Emily Windsnap, she had to read the rest of the series.
A Wonderful Twist on an Old Theme
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
We got this book for our twelve year-old daughter who had devoured the mermaid books by this author. I read it first, and could not put it down. It is modern and funny and definitely something that young girls can relate to. Our daughter enjoyed it just as much! I definitely would recommend this for 9 - 14 year olds (plus their parents).
