Bruce Coville

The World's Worst Fairy Godmother Bruce Coville

Maybelle Clodnowski is in big trouble because every spell she casts somehow backfires. After her latest disaster, her boss gives her one last chance. Her job: reform a perfectly obnoxious kid named Susan.

Watching over Maybelle will be tart and touchy Edna Prim, Fairy Godmother of the Year for the last 147 years running. Alas, Maybelle has a secret enemy working against her. When that enemy causes Maybelle's plans to go spectacularly wrong, the magical mix-up throws the entire town into a tizzy. Can a good heart triumph over bad magic? Or will Maybelle and Edna find themselves facing a fate worse than death? Though the laughs come fast and furious, the story of Maybelle also offers young readers some serious thoughts on love, redemption, and the importance of being yourself. But mostly it's a nonstop hoot!
