Took me a while to learn the vocabulary, but it was a cute, fun read. I like the way the world was imagined, thought I did want a little more depth to the happenings. Very enjoyable though!

This was heaps of fun. I would enjoy more books in the New Avalon world. Not just more about Charlie and her friends, but her sister (who is great) and the world Larbalestier has built, too.

If you could have any kind of personal fairy, what kind would you want? Unfortunately for Charlie, she didn't get to pick her fairy. If she had, she would have chosen a loose change fairy, a clothes shopping fairy, or better yet, an all boys like you fairy. But Charlie didn't get any of those fai...
