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!
.
Of course, what it takes is months of walking absolutely everywhere, being late to all of her classes, losing time to do her homework, and missing time with her friends and family.
.
When she finally gets a chance to switch with the girl who has the All-Boys-Will-Notice-You Fairy, Charlie thinks her luck has finally changed.
.
Boy! Was she wrong...

The Otherworldlies

Fern has always been an outsider. She talks to her dog (and he understands her), can accurately predict the weather, and she burns in any sunlight.
.
Her twin brother has none of these problems and spends most of his time trying to help his sister out at school and in public. But even he can't help her when she disappears from school... literally. He was the only one to watch her fade out from her desk, while the rest of the class ignored her as always. And when she reappears on a beach miles away, she knows that this is more than a case of just being a little strange.
.
Things get even more confusing when a mysterious stranger appears and offers to help. Even the most popular girl in school, who never even glanced at her before, is suddenly giving her advice. The problem is that the stranger and the popular girl don't have the same intentions. So now Fern must choose who to follow and from whom to run.
