NEWBIE FAIRY

In this hilarious, highly illustrated new chapter book series, lovable newbie fairy Oona has big ideas, but her magic always seems to go a little wonky. But she won't let that stop her!

Oona Bramblegoop hopes to someday win the Very Important Fairy award, just like Lucy, the Tooth Fairy, the most award-winning fairy of all time. Better yet, she dreams of being Lucy's VERY BEST friend. But there's one big problem: Oona's constantly surprised by the outcome of her spells, and usually not in a good way.

When she secretly follows Lucy on her rounds and accidently wakes a boy - breaking the #1 rule: never interact with humans - both Oona and Lucy are in danger of losing their wands.

Will Lucy agree to team up with Oona to get out of this trouble? And can Oona's sideways magic actually be helpful or will it make everything worse?
