Not-so-perfect fairy godmother? Check. Big hungry wolf? Also check.

Amelia Sparkle is a fairy godmother-in-training. Perfect in every way... except for one tiny problem. Her spells never quite work right! But when a big bad wolf starts prowling around, Amelia's instincts kick in. She wasn't trained to be a hero-but what if she was meant to be one?

One reviewer shared that their child "stayed engaged the whole time, and loved the artwork," while another called the illustrations "gorgeous...the kind of thing I would have loved to stare at when I was a little kid."
