It was so fun and just what I was looking for. If you enjoy the lighter YA novels, this one is worth reading. 'Yes, we like Mommy’s flaming hairdo, don’t we?'This was a cute, light, humorous story with occasional moving and thoughtful moments. Behind me I heard Hudson still talking to the baby. The sparklers died, but I didn’t wait around for more commentary. 'All right,' I said, nervously eyeing the area to make sure no one saw us. The baby cooed and reached out, trying to grab the flaring light. Hudson looked at them, and a grin spread across his face.

Hotly, because as soon as the words left my lips, sparklers erupted on top of my head.

'The animal rights option is new this year,' Chrissy said.Tansy, understandably, chooses the flashing lights option, which leads to some really funny moments later on, like this one: He smiled. Or if thou art an animal rights activist and considereth such an act to be inhumane to reptiles or amphibians, thou mayest choose instead to have flashing lights above thy head declaring thou art a blasted liar.' if thou shalt tell an untruth, in consequence of such an act, a reptile or amphibian shall grow upon thy tongue until such instance when thou spittith it out. Sample quote, from the fairy contract that Tansy had to sign: '. Identities are mistaken, fences are mended, lessons are learned. Hijinks ensue and eventually everyone gets sent by Chrissy to (not particularly realistic, but whatever) medieval times-including, of course, the requisite hot guy. The Valley Girl-ish fair y godmother from the first book, Chrysanthemum (Chrissy), is still trying to get into fairy godmother university, or something like that, so she's taken on another extra credit project in the form of Tansy, an unhappy teenager dragged down by the aftermath of her parents' divorce, who registered too high on the fairy's Pathetic-O-Meter and thus qualifies for some fairy godmotherly intervention in her life. As a childhood nerd and compulsively good student, I had a hard time sympathizing with the gorgeous, popular high school student in the first book, who never used her brains until forced to do so. This YA novel is one of those rare sequels that I liked better than the first book in the series, My Fair Godmother, mostly because I liked the main character better in this book. This is a funny, light YA fantasy with a little romance.
