The last fairy godmother is leading the charge. Meanwhile, in Springfield Mills, the school year is ending. Izzy and her best friend Franklin plan another summer filled with their favorite game, Magic Key. Izzy's teachers always say she has a vivid imagination, but lately her sister has started to tell her to grow up and stop playing baby games. When the last fairy godmother, banished by the evil queen, lands in Springfield Mills, it is up to Izzy and Franklin to help her get home and save Astorya. What if all the games you ever imagined turn out to be real?
I love this story. An evil Queen, a baking king, a self-centred Prince Charming and Cinderella organised an underground organisation to save the kingdoms magic. Only problem is: the last fairy God mother her friend was spiritrd away to another world. The new friends Violet finds there are clever and have a lot of imagination. It's brilliant how they stand up to grown-ups and friends who aren't friends.
This story is charming, entertaining and has everything a modern fairy tale needs. Not only for youngsters but also grown-ups who love to read read YA books.
