Magic Mistakes!

Airy Fairy #3

by Margaret Ryan

It’s the start of the autumn school semester and the fairies are learning a new subject—cooking! Who can make the best pudding? Airy Fairy is determined to do well in cooking class, but with Scary Fairy around to stir up trouble, things are bound to go wrong once again. Here is a brand-new episode in the hilarious adventures of the clumsiest, most messy little fairy in town. Her wand is bent, her wings are patched with bandages, and her magic spells have a way of going wrong. Even so, she’s a lovable little fairy whose earlier adventures have quickly become favorites among young readers. All Airy Fairy Books are divided into chapters, much like an adult’s novel, and there are humorous line drawings on many pages.

It's a new school year and the fairies are going to be in a cooking contest. Airy Fairy makes mistakes and is bullied by mean Scary Fairy, but she does her best and triumphs in the end. She's the little fairy with the bent wings, the bandages on her knees, and the generous heart.
