This unconventional new series is the perfect antidote to those 'oh so sweet' fairy stories.Despite what humans think, real fairies don't live in toadstools and they don'tknow instantly how to cast magical spells. In fact, not all fairies even like beingfairies! Elly is the perfect example. She would trade in her girly fairy uniform (anitchy tutu and pretty slippers) for the freedom of jeans and skateboarding at acool human school any day.Elly makes sure her disdain of Fairydom and The Mossy Blossom Academy forYoung Fairies is very clear. She does horribly in her "spelling" lessons, forgets tocharge her wand and has already been expelled from two other fairy academies!If her rebellious, non-fairy behaviour doesn'tchange, Elly will be (gasp!) a fairy schooldrop-out!But perhaps this is exactly Elly's plan.
