How to Ditch Your Fairy

How to Ditch Your Fairy
by Justine Larbalestier

Charlie has always had one of the worst fairies ever: the parking fairy. Her entire life seems to be one long car ride, as people "borrow" her any time they drive, even if it's just to the grocery store, just so they can get the perfect parking spot.

.
Well... Charlie's tired of being used and she's doing something about it. She's going to get rid of that parking fairy, no matter what it takes!
.

.

Boy! Was she wrong...
