After being pestered by the Fairy of Frequent and Painful Pointless Antagonism, little girl Clemency Pogue vows that she does NOT believe in fairies, killing her attacker...and every other fairy in the world. Realizing that there are plenty of good fairies, Clemency and a hobgoblin set off to make things right.
A quick read that offers plenty of laughs for the adults, perhaps an interesting short story for kids, but nothing really of any substance. It's a quick adventure in the world of fairies, a little bit of action, and a short burst of triumph for the girl.
Certainly this is taking advantage of the popularity of books like Harry Potter, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and the awful books of Eoin Colfer. If it weren't for these other books, this probably would never have seen the light of a fairy's wand.
Check it out from your library if you're looking for something quick and light to read, but don't waste your cash.
