(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Marta Kissi. Ella Brook can't wait to grow up to be a fairy like the rest of the women in her family. In the meantime, she helps her novice mom, whose spells don't always go as planned. In Kinsella's first book for young readers, Ella narrates four amusing adventures filled with mayhem, endearing characters, and life lessons, all accompanied by plentiful black-and-white illustrations. A "Family Activity Guide" is appended.

(2) YA After "some stuff" happened to her at school, Audrey is afraid--of everyone--and will be attending a new school come fall. Kinsella never details the bullying (making its power all the more terrifying), but she persuasively charts Audrey's healing with help from a therapist and a boy who becomes more than a friend. Layered and serious but with plenty of leavening social comedy.
