Sophie Kinsella
183 books44.4k followersSophie Kinsella had sold over 40 million copies of her books in more than 60 countries, and she had been translated into over 40 languages.
Sophie Kinsella first hit the UK bestseller lists in September 2000 with her first novel in the Shopaholic series – The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic (also published as Confessions of a Shopaholic). The book’s heroine, Becky Bloomwood – a fun and feisty financial journalist who loves shopping but is hopeless with money – captured the hearts of readers worldwide. Becky has since featured in seven further bestselling books, Shopaholic Abroad (also published as Shopaholic Takes Manhattan), Shopaholic Ties the Knot, Shopaholic & Sister, Shopaholic & Baby, Mini Shopaholic, Shopaholic to the Stars and Shopaholic to the Rescue. Becky Bloomwood came to the big screen in 2009 with the hit Disney movie Confessions of a Shopaholic, starring Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy.
Sophie had also written seven standalone novels which have all been bestsellers in the UK, USA and other countries around the world: Can You Keep A Secret?, The Undomestic Goddess, Remember Me?, Twenties Girl, I’ve Got Your Number, Wedding Night, and My Not So Perfect Life, which was a Goodreads Choice Awards finalist for Best Fiction in 2017.
In 2014 she published a Young Adult novel Finding Audrey about a teenage girl with social anxiety and her madcap family, and in January 2018, Sophie published her first illustrated book for young readers about the charming adventures of a mother-daughter fairy duo, Mummy Fairy and Me (also published as Fairy Mom and Me).
Sophie’s novel, Surprise Me, published in February 2018, presents a humorous yet moving portrait of a marriage—its intricacies, comforts, and complications. Surprise Me reveals that hidden layers in a close relationship are often yet to be discovered.
Sophie wrote her first novel under her real name, Madeleine Wickham, at the tender age of 24, whilst she was working as a financial journalist. The Tennis Party was immediately hailed as a success by critics and the public alike and became a top ten bestseller. She went on to publish six more novels as Madeleine Wickham: A Desirable Residence, Swimming Pool Sunday, The Gatecrasher, The Wedding Girl, Cocktails for Three and Sleeping Arrangements.
Sophie was born in London. She studied music at New College, Oxford, but after a year switched to Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She lived in London, UK, with her husband and family.

I don’t tend to read and review children’s fiction. Simply because I have so many other books to get through that there isn’t enough hours in the day. However, this book holds special memories for me now. It is the first lengthy book I have read to my daughter, and it is by one of my favourite authors. When I had heard that Sophie Kinsella had turned to children’s fiction, I was keen to pick this up and have a read. Luckily, I have a daughter who is very keen on everything this book is all about – a perfect excuse!

Fairy Mom and Me: Fairy Unicorn Wishes is the third book in this series.
I have been reading and enjoying this series with my niece who is now 10. This book had four stories. There are pictures. I would say that ideally this book would be for 7-9 year old girls. But there are chapters and the book is long. So the younger children may need to read this with an adult.
We read this book in one sitting.
These books are about a girl named Ella. Her mom and aunt can both turn into fairies. But while her aunt is proficient at spells her mom is not. Every time her mom tries to do a spell some type of mayhem ensues.
The stories are funny. And both my niece and I enjoyed the book. Her favorite story was the one with the dancing sheep. I really liked that one too. I also really liked the unicorn story.
The illustrations are really cute. And this is a charming series.
Thanks to netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada for allowing me to read this book.

This was a cute concept.
I didn't realize, it was book three when I picked it up, but it doesn't seem to hinder.
They give enough of a recap at the start for you to get the gist.
I'm excited that there are several more books in this adorable series.

Love these short stories and illustrations, especially the fairy world where computawands and fairy apps exist!

Entertaining book for anyone that like unicorns and magic 🪄 read this for my 5 year old girl and she loved it.

If you have a transitional young reader in your life, you need the Fairy Mom & Me series in your life. It’s a magical adventure full of childhood exuberance.
“Mom calls me her Fairy in Waiting. I’ll have big sparkly wings and my own beautiful shiny crown, and I’ll be able to do magic just like Mom. I already know what my first spell will be. I’ll wish for a unicorn of my very own.”
~ Page 5
There are four stories in this book, all taking us through the adventures of Ella and her fairy mom. And my favorite part is the family activities in the back. With games, craft projects, and lots of space for drawing and using your imagination.
The shorter stories within the book are perfect for the transitioning reader as they can be broken down into shorter reading sessions without losing the overall plot of the book. They all interweave, making it easy for a parent or older sibling to help your reader piece together the stories and practice reading for longer bursts while keeping the narrative intact.
I also love how Kinsella uses today’s technology in her magical world, allowing kids to practice definitions and understanding more mature terminology. All while keeping the stories relatable and full of magic.
"One day I was watching Mom having her magic lesson with Fenella on FairyTube. She was learning about the Rainbow Effect.
The Rainbow Effect is very powerful and mysterious. When there is a rainbow in the sky, fairies have to be careful because their spells are extra strong and very hard to control.
That’s why there’s a Rainbow App on every Computawand. The app tells you when a rainbow is coming. All fairies have them except Granny. She doesn’t like apps or Computawands. She says, “Just look at the sky, dear.”
~ Pages 81-82
In all, this is an adorable book filled with a ton of relatable topics to talk about with the young reader in your life. It will encourage their reading, provide tons of giggles, and launch countless daydreams. I can’t wait to give it to my niece.

Reviewed on my blog, Becky on Books, on 2/4/20.
Fairy Unicorn Wishes is the third book in Sophie Kinsella's Fairy Mom and Me series, but if you haven't yet read the first two books, no worries! Ms Kinsella has an intro at the beginning of the book (Meet Fairy Mom and Me) to introduce new readers to the world that she has created here with Ella Brooks, her (fairy) mom, dad, and baby brother Ollie.
The rest of the book is four different "fairy spells"--four short stories featuring Ella and her mom and at least one spell that--apparently, as usual--doesn't go exactly as it was intended to. They can be read in a single sitting with (or by) older children with a slightly longer attention span, or one at a time with younger children or when time is at a premium. The last few pages are a family activity guide that lets children and caregivers expand on the stories--there's a word search, a craft idea, drawing/decorating prompts, and a what do you think? question that will keep the stories fresh in readers' minds and allow them to use their own imaginations.
I've been reading Ms Kinsella's adult books for years, and hadn't realized that she'd started writing for children as well. The stories here were really cute, with a whimsy that adult readers of her books will recognize. Even though readers (probably) don't have their own fairy moms, it's easy to sympathize with Ella: she likes to spend time with her best friends, loves sparkles and unicorns, and worries about being different and the mean girl next door. The stories often have a message (work toward you goals, for example) but aren't overly didactic--it's easy to see how this book would appeal to 5- to 7-year olds and their caregivers.
Rating: 4 stars / B+

This was delightfully childish. It was full of simplicity, and fun, and it made me laugh.
I love that Ella embraced the "wierdness" of her family, and was excited to watch her mom and aunt practice their fairy magic. I also enjoyed how Emma's mom was bad at spells, and showed that in front of Ella, showing kids that parents aren't always perfect, but that they do the best they can.
I loved all the bright descriptions and how Ella's mom and aunt had to say food oriented words to turn themselves from fairy to normal and back again.
It has a bit of an introduction at the start, so even though this is further along in a series, it doesn't feel like you're missing anything (kid's books usually don't so that's why I don't mind jumping in in the middle.)
It doesn't progress so much as a story, per se, more like a bunch of short stories as different chapters, so that was one downside for me.
I loved that there are fun activities for kids to do at the back like instructions for a craft, a word search and drawing activities.
I won this book via Librarything Giveaways.

so I liked this book except this is for girls I didn't like how she did all of that just to get early and of it was trafficy how did the other girl (the bully)get there like 3 seconds later did she have a mummy Fairy? that would actually be a fire 🔥 plot this is to the author: have the next book be about how the bully also has a daddy fairy and mummy Fairy and daddy Fairy get married and get a baby Fairy OK so shout-out to the author for acceptance yay!! thank you Sophie Kinsella for all the cooperation!!(i doubt she will ever see it)#Sophiekinsella.

This is another great book in the Fairy Mom and Me series.
This story was very funny. Ella’s mom is a fairy, but she is always making mistakes with her magic. Sometimes her spells go wrong, like when a twirling spell made pigs and sheep dance. Another time, she installed a new spell app on her wand, which ended up granting all of Ella’s wishes, including giving her a unicorn. There were lots of pictures, depicting these spells going wrong, which were also hilarious.
I like that these stories show kids that adults can make mistakes too. Adults are constantly learning new things, just like kids. Ella’s mom makes mistakes with her spells, but Ella still admires her and wants to be a fairy when she grows up.
I really enjoyed this cute story.

Ella is back with another fantastical tale and, as if being a Fairy isn’t exciting enough already, she’s discovered even more reasons to want to be just like her mom. From magical spells that make their car invisible and fly high above the traffic, to heaping helpings of spaghetti, and chocolate fountains in their kitchen, there is never a dull moment in Ella’s life.
A picnic with Aunty Jo and Mom is sure to garner giggles from young readers when a rainbow spell goes hysterically awry and transforms the animals around them into whirling, twirling, dancers – complete with perfect, purple ballet shoes!
Just when things seem to be getting back to normal, Mom downloads the new app, Auto-Spell on her laptop and the results are disastrously funny. Auto-Spell claims to read your mind and will then cast the spell for you. Or so it claims! Even Fairy apps can have glitches, and this is a big one!
Fairy Unicorn Wishes by Sophie Kinsella is the third book in a wonderfully humorous and charming series. Delightful black and white illustrations frequent the story and boost the imagination. A fun-filled activity guide ends the book giving young readers a place to doodle or draw their own Fairy wishes and seek out magical words in a word search.
A definite addition to every Fairy wanna-be’s bookcase! We’re already looking forward to book 4, Fairy Mermaid Magic!

FAIRY UNICORN WISHES
By Sophie Kinsella
This children’s book was such a fun chapter book written by the well known Author of Adult Fiction, Sophie Kinsella. In this humorous and fun telling of a family of fairies, you connect with the moments when nothing seems to go quite right.
Ella’s mom, aunt and grandmother are all full blown fairies but because Ella is still too young, she doesn’t get to practice any of the inherited powers or magic just yet. But she sure gets to see her mom, who isn’t the best at performing spells, perform a bunch of comical mishaps that take them on adventures and gives the family one accidental, but not harmful, experience after another.
Short chapters and easy to read, I would recommend this highly for any child that likes to laugh and have a ball while reading.

I really enjoyed reading this book as I am a huge Sophie Kinsella fan. I was looking for a good book to share with my niece. Even though this was a children’s book I found myself fully taken in by the magic of the story. I will definitely purchase this series for my nieces and I especially loved the activities at the end.

Ella can't wait to grow up to become a fairy like her mother. She wants the sparkly crown, the glowy wings, and powerful Computwand. Her first wish would be a glittery unicorn that will be hers. After seeing her mom try to master her spells, Ella knows magic isn't as easy as it seems even with specials apps. Will Ella be able to learn magic to save the day or will she learn that you don't need to be a fairy to be special?
The book is the third installment in the Fairy Mom and Me series. The book is a cute read along perfect for children of all ages. The book has three separate stories each filled with comical humor and an activity section in the back for kids to do with their parents.

*Clap*Clap*Clap*...Sophie Kinsella once again takes things all little children love and weaves it into her children's chapter book. Unicorns are all the rage! And unicorns happen to go perfect with a fairy theme. I saw on the back book jacket that the next installment is going to include mermaids. How perfect. All the small children and me will enjoy this:)

ARC Copy...interesting the same author as "Shopaholic" writes for little kids too! Hehe surprisingly I thought it was cute and had that same certain kind of "cheeky-wit" "Shopaholic" does have. Plus girls might love it...who wouldn't want a fairy for a mom?
July 17, 2020
What a clever series of books! I love the computer wand and wand apps! So fun! I wish my mother had been a fairy too!! This is a perfect book for mothers and daughters to read! The age range between five and seven years old is perfect!

"I'll wish for an unicorn of my very own" (5)
This book was so cute and funny. I loved her imagination and really making stories fun! I loved the plot points throughout.

I always want a fix of Sophie Kinsella. It would be great to see ballet animals and I like the spaghetti illustration that looked like hair.
