Willow Doyle comes from a long line of fairy godmothers, but all she wants to be is normal. Why would she want to become a full-fledged fairy godmother (she’s currently at sprite status) and be stuck helping humans—known as humdrums in her family—who don’t even believe she exists? No, Willow would rather be human. So she’s thrilled when she has the chance to attend a humdrum elementary school for two weeks. Normal! At last! But can Willow fit in with the humdrums and make a best friend, even though her parents don’t want her hanging out with humans? Find out in this hilarious and enchanting new series from an acclaimed young adult author.
Eileen Cook spent most of her teen years wishing she were someone else or somewhere else, which is great training for a writer. When she was unable to find any job postings for world famous author, she went to Michigan State University and became a counselor so she could at least afford her book buying habit. But real people have real problems, so she returned to writing because she liked having the ability to control the ending. Which is much harder with humans.
