A Boy in the Fairy World
In the second book of this hilarious, highly illustrated chapter book series, lovable Underwear Fairy Oona has to call on all of her sideways magic when she accidentally leads a human boy up to Blackberry Bog.
Oona loves being the Underwear Fairy, which means she gets to distribute magical safety undies to keep human children from falling down and hurting themselves. But when she gets trapped in the human world by Marco, a boy who wants to take a photo of her to prove fairies are real, she’s horrified—don’t let humans see you is one of fairydom’s most important rules!
Luckily, her cousin Horace and best friend Lucy (also known as the Tooth Fairy) help her get free. But then things get even more disastrous—Marco follows them back up to Blackberry Bog!
Can Oona and her friends get Marco safely back to the human world before he does too much damage—and before the Fairy Council finds out?
Packed with Fun Fairy Facts, humor, and lots of heart, this magical series celebrates finding friendship and your place in the world, even if you fit in a little sideways.

Kids will love spending time again with Oona, the Newbie Underwear Fairy again with her friends whom young readers met in the first book. It is fun to see how the illustrations and lettering have changed from pink to blue ink in this new book for our new boy character, Marco. I am so happy that this second book in this series is out in bookstores now, and I am glad that the story is still funny and will keep kids giggling and laughing at the silly underwear magic.
When Oona's extra fairy perception, or EFP for short, signals a Level 13 emergency in her head, Oona knows she needs to go into the human world. A boy named Marco needs replacement underwear full of AUTO WEDGIE magic to keep him safe. Marco is so clumsy that he'll get banged up faster than dress shoes at recess without magic wedgies to snap him to attention. But there was just one problem. The sun is about to peek over the horizon, and fairies are forbidden to leave Blackberry Bog in the daytime, but if she waits until night, Marco would probably look like he’d been inside a giant pinball machine.
Nope, she needs to go RIGHT NOW to restock his underwear drawer before he wakes up. When she opens Marco's bedroom drawer and sees the perfectly round holes cut in his underwear, she realizes she has been set up, and a cage drops over her, trapping her inside and causing her to drop her magic wand - outside the cage.
Her cousin and three slugs from the first book have followed her and come to her rescue. Oona says a spell: " Slugs are a whole lot more slippery than me, but I have to get out of here to be free." The slugs help her get her wand into her hands and this starts the action, excitement, and fun. And the hijinks continue to the end of the book. Slugs, underwear, and other super-fun, sometimes-icky humor abounds in this series, bringing a fresh take on fairies perfect for kids who like a bit of messiness mixed with their magic. Just like the first book, Fun Fairy Facts are sprinkled throughout this book, and the blue illustrations Marta created provide children with entertaining visual pictures that will keep them reading more. I am sure children will see themselves in Oona and Marco and be inspired to keep trying to succeed even when things fail.
This is a very funny book, and kids love to laugh, which is one of the things parents love to hear, so it will be entertaining for everyone in the family. Everyone will love the blue illustrations, and I'm happy that Kate continued the Fun Fairy Facts sprinkled throughout the book as she did in the first story. This book is a perfect summer read for children 7 to 10 years old and their parents.
FUN FAIRY FACT: Fairy wands come in five models: Classic
Sparkle Star, Moondoggle, Horseshoe and Heart, Lightning
Up, and Basic Bagel. Classic Sparkle Star is the most popular,
but recently Basic Bagel has been selling like hotcakes, or more accurately, like bagels.

Another delightful story featuring Oona Bramblegoop and her sideways magic.
Just when Oona the Underwear Fairy thinks she's got it all figured out, she finds herself in a trap set by a human boy named Marco. Things get out of hand and Marco ends up following Oona to Fairy World. Now Oona, Horace, and Lucy must keep him hidden while they figure out how to get Marco home.
Just as engaging and fun as the first book. I loved the underwear humor and the Fairy Facts throughout. I really enjoy learning about Korsh's Fairy World and its inhabitants. Nice themes of honesty and doing the right thing.
The blue-toned artwork is adorable and pairs perfectly with the story.
The text is printed in blue, which I think is easier to read than the pink text of the first book. Not as dark as standard black text, but has a nice visual effect.
A fun continuation of a sweet series. Looking forward to the third book.
