Step away from the wand. . .

We aren’t usually big fairy fans, but for Elly Knottleweed-Eversprightly, we’ve made an exception. You see, Elly—although she is a fairy—isn’t a big fan of fairies either.

In fact, she hates being a fairy.

She hates her itchy tutu school uniform and she hates flying the fairy flock to school every morning—she would much rather take her cool skateboard.

She’s fed up with her baby sister who accidentally makes magic happen, when she can never make her wand do what she asks. Elly has already been expelled from two prestigious fairy academies; once, for turning her teacher purple (it was an accident!), and another time for catching a flyrus (which so wasn’t her fault!).

What’s a fairy to do?

Elly meets Jess, a human girl who is not at all interested in fairies (but handy with wand repairs). Finally, Elly makes a friend who understands her—even though Jess is only human.
