Description

Has Oona Bramblegoop’s magical mayhem finally gone too far sideways?

Oona is thrilled to be a Fairy Council Member, and her assignment is so much fun — making new rules for the fairy binder. She has tons of ideas! But her friends aren’t so sure these rules are needed, and then Oona finds out they’re causing a dangerous magical crisis.

She’ll have to find a way to stand up for what really matters if she wants to save her friendships and Blackberry Bog.

Packed with Fun Fairy Facts, humour, and lots of heart, this magical series celebrates finding friendship and your place in the world, even if you fit in a little sideways.

When Fairies Go Too Far by Kate Korsh is a delightful addition to any young reader's bookshelf.
