How to Ditch Your Fairy

(2) YA In fourteen-year-old Charlie's world ("perhaps a little in the future"), most people have their own personal fairy. Charlie's is a good-parking-spot fairy, and she detests it. Her efforts to ditch it make an utter mess of things as she's trying to make the basketball team and snag new-boy Stefan. Larbalestier's half-fantasy, half-sci-fi setting is fully realized and strikingly original.
