Illustrated by
Marta Kissi.
Ella Brook can't wait to grow up to be a fairy like the rest of the women in her family. In the meantime, she helps her novice mom, whose spells don't always go as planned. In Kinsella's first book for young readers, Ella narrates four amusing adventures filled with mayhem, endearing characters, and life lessons, all accompanied by plentiful black-and-white illustrations. A "Family Activity Guide" is appended.
