Project Fairy

LoveReading4Kids Says

Best-selling author Jacqueline Wilson adds an entertaining new take on fairies in a typically warm hearted story woven round her more familiar themes of friendships, families and finding your place in the world.

When Mab finds an old flower squashed in a book about fairies she pops it in a glass of water as it looks very wilted. Much to Mab's surprise the flower turns into a rather bad tempered and very opinionated and talkative fairy called Bindweed. Now Mab has to look after Bindweed while keeping her secret from her mother, who is mad keen on a quite different kind of fairy, her younger brother who could easily hurt Bindweed by mistake and, most importantly, the horrible girls in her class who already sneer and scoff at her. Mab and Bindweed's growing friendship demands navigating practical difficulties which also help Mab find confidence and happiness in her own life.
