If you lived in a world where everyone had a personal fairy, what kind would you want?


  • A clothes-shopping fairy (The perfect outfit will always be on sale!)

  • A loose-change fairy (Pretty self-explanatory.)

  • A never-getting-caught fairy (You can get away with anything. . . .)


Unfortunately for Charlie, she's stuck with a parking fairy-if she's in the car, the driver will find the perfect parking spot. Tired of being treated like a personal parking pass, Charlie devises a plan to ditch her fairy for a more useful model. At first, teaming up with her archenemy (who has an all-the-boys-like-you fairy) seems like a good idea. But Charlie soon learns there are consequences for messing with fairies-and she will have to resort to extraordinary measures to set things right again.
