Princess Smartypants and the Fairy Geek Mothers

It's 30 years since Princess Smartypants made her bestselling debut in picture books - here she is in her second full-length adventure.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Princess Smartypants and the Fairy Geek Mothers by Babette Cole tells the tale of Fairy God Mother Doris who needs Princess Smartypants' help.

In Fairy Tale Land, traditional Fairy God Mothers are being made redundant and replaced by Fairy Geek Mothers. These new Fairy Geek Mothers have set up a website where people can buy wishes online. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, it's the fairy tales themselves that are suffering. For example, Princess Beatrice has used a wish to magically create an ugly wart on her sister's nose, much to her sister's annoyance. Meanwhile, Goldilocks experiences a sore tummy because certain bears have wished for her porridge to go bad.

If these fairy tales are not corrected, children will never know the real stories! Can Princess Smartypants help Doris find a way to make fairy tales good again?
