Oh My Godmother series.
Illustrated by
Abigail Halpin.
Lacey Unger-Ware, a fairy-godmother-in-training at Godmother Academy, has six days to make her client's wish of a dream wedding to her true love come true, with life-altering consequences hinging on her success. Hasty spells and a major error in assumption create the drama in this otherwise lightweight fantasy grounded in the reality of middle school. Cutesy illustrations underscore the levity.

Oh My Godmother series.
Illustrated by
Abigail Halpin.
In the third book, Lacey continues her fairy-godmother training by helping outcast Martin win over their class with a magic carnival. She resolves to make his life not "stink," though she doesn't understand the full extent of his stress. As usual, well-intentioned Lacey's magic makes life more complicated, not less. Cute spot art enlivens this lightweight fantasy story about friendship and determination.

Oh My Godmother series.
Illustrated by
Abigail Halpin.
In this lightweight series starter, twelve-year-old outcast Lacey finds an injured fairy godmother stuck in her hair one day. She belongs to popular cheerleader Paige, and without her magic, Paige's dream won't come true--and neither will Lacey's. Lacey takes over the role and unsurprisingly learns there's more to Paige than she had assumed. Cutesy black-and-white drawings illustrate the magical hijinks.
