      When you're little, you'd think having a fairy enter your life would be the very best thing ever. For poor Hailey, Maybelle the fairy might be just the opposite. Hailey listens to all of Maybelle's suggestions, which more often than not, get her into trouble. Hailey has to learn, along with Maybelle, that sometimes you need to own up to your mistakes.This would be a great book for young readers. The way Hailey and her friends talk reminds me very much of the way the twins I watch that are her age talk. The author definitely has that child's voice down, which makes the story, fairies and all, believable.

      Such a fun read! I was looking for something lighter after my last book and this fit the bill just right. There's something in it for evreyone both young and young at heart as you follow Hailey and Maybelle through adventure after adventure. Hailey loves to have fun (and glitter pencils and teeth tracks {aka braces} are FUN!) and Maybelle is a sprite in need of a lesson in just that. But wait! Having fun requires a bit of responsibility too! Will they both learn their intended lessons? Or will Hailey end up in more trouble than it's worth and Maybelle remain a magic-less sprite? You'll have to read it to find out! (OH and the cliff hanger ending? Yeah, it's here too....but a small reprieve is given thanks to a sneak peek at book two in this charming series....thank goodness!) Happy reading!

    Chapter One

    French Fries

    Addie Jokobeck sits next to me in Miss Stephanie’s second grade class. Right now she is moving her pencil up and down and across while we practice our words that begin with T. Her pencil is just plain blue. It does not have glitter on it. Or feathers. Or sparkles. Like mine. That’s ’cause Addie Jokobeck thinks glitter and feathers and sparkles make your printing wobbly.

    Hailey, Addie whispers. I think you should be keeping your eyes on your own paper. She smiles at me. Addie Jokobeck is really in love with rules.

    Class, Miss Stephanie says from her big desk at the front of the room. I have a special announcement. I sit up and pay attention. I love special announcements, as long as they are not: Hailey Twitch, please keep your eyes right on your own paper.

    We are going to be doing a special project, Miss Stephanie says. For School Diversity Week, you will each be making food from a different country, and dressing up as a person from that country. Your parents will be helping you, and you will be working with a partner.

    Partners! I love to work in partners! It is like half the work with twice the fun! I quickly look to the front of the room for Antonio Fuerte. Antonio is from Mexico. He told me it is very hot and beautiful there. I try to catch his eye by wiggling my eyebrows up and down and giving him a look. The look says, Me and you will be partners. My second choice for a partner is my friend Russ Robertson. This is because Russ is very easy to boss. I try to give Russ that same look.

    But then Miss Stephanie says, You will be partners with the person you sit next to in class.

    Miss Stephanie is a very good teacher. She has long blond hair and wears lots of dress-up pants. But she is not very good when she is telling me I am going to be partners with Addie Jokobeck who is really in love with rules.

    Addie Jokobeck gives me a big wide smile, so big that I can see the space of her one missing tooth on the top.

    I raise my hand. Maybe we should pick our own partners, I say. That might be fun.

    No, Miss Stephanie says. Then Miss Stephanie says that me and Addie Jokobeck will be doing the country of France.

    Oooh, I love France, Addie says. That’s where French fries come from.

    My grandma has a French poodle, I tell her. It’s a girl dog, but she named it Stewart after my grandpa. It still goes to the bathroom a lot on her rug, even though she’s had it for five whole years. Addie looks shocked. France is not as exciting as Mexico, I say. "It is very boring in France, I think, if the best thing
