Hunky Dory is at the head of her class at Charm School. She is first in spelling and almost always Miss Harbinger’s class pet. But, when she makes an uninvited visit to a Christening party with her Auntie Malice, something in this young witch begins to change. She can’t help herself from offering the baby a little gift in the form of a spell to mitigate the one her aunt has given, and is startled by the tingling feeling she gets after her good deed. It’s also when she first hears of F.G.s, fairy godmothers, those trite little beings who go around granting wishes. Hunky begins to question whether she truly is destined to be the “Baddest Witch Wherever the Four Winds Blow”, as her mother predicts, and starts to think that possibly, just possibly, she’s really cut out to be a fairy godmother.
Armed only with her wand, her diary and her copy of ‘Be the One with the Wand’, Hunky sets off to discover her destiny. What she learns it that witches and F.G.s aren’t nearly as different as she expected, that sometimes you have to make your own path in life, one that is unique and entirely right for you.
Diary of a Fairy Godmother is a fun, smart book for girls. I’m glad that the Girls’ Book Club chose it for their first novel.
