Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Brittany Leigh

I have an 8 year old niece. I also have a list of books that I set aside just for her to read when she gets older, maybe around the age of 13. These books teach you a lesson. Lessons that all young girls should learn before they start middle or high school.

My Fair Godmother by Jannett Rallison is on that list.

I read this book 3 weeks ago and re-read twice since. It starts out with a young girl, Savannah, who get dumped by her boyfriend so he could date her older sister. Savannah was the girl who didn't like school and used her looks to get the grades she got. Her older sister, on the other hand, was smart and pretty, but not the prettiest girl in school like her younger sister.

Rallison takes Savannah and the readers through 3 different fairy tales and when she's done, you'll never think of Snow White the  same again. And Prince Charming in Cinderella? Well, he isn't as charming as we thought.

At the end of the book, both Savannah and the readers learn a good lesson on not using your looks to get you through life. Be smart. Don't take things for granted. And, do not what-so-ever, be vague when you make wishes to a Fairy Godmother in training.

The lesson is for young girls and older teen girls. It
