Average. ( ) This book is good for imaginative girls, as it is about a girl who has a fairy god mother who makes all these crazy things happen to her. She speaks and toads come out of her mouth. Her step sister speaks and flowers and diamonds come out of hers. Together, they must find the fairy god mother and figure out why this is happening. Will they? So a messed up fairy godmother gets a tale wrong, but the lesson works out anyway. To go with the traditional fairy tale, Cat should have spitted diamonds and flowers and Olivia should have spit out toads, but non-traditional not entirely competent fairy godmother puts a wrench in things. In line with the traditional tale, the sisters both learn a valuable lesson and find common ground (although Cat has the harder time throughout and Olivia was really the one who caused the problems from the get-go with her bullying). I really enjoyed this over-the-top reworking of an old fairy tale. I found the characters fun and believable, the set-up enjoyable, and the payoff delightful. I loved that it's set in my town, and I dug the Great Aunt a lot. There's a tiny Betsy-Tacy nod embedded in this book, and it made me laugh out loud. I would have loved this even more had I read it at age 9 or so. Frederick has a sure hand with snappy dialogue, and her middle-schoolers are very true to life. Disclosure: I'm friends with Frederick in real life. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When her mother goes on a NASA mission, Cat Starr is sent to live with her father, stepsister Olivia, and younger brother Geoffrey, but interference by her inept fairy godmother causes toads to appear when Cat speaks and gems to fall from Olivia's mouth, bringing one to the attention of jewel thieves and the other to a secret government laboratory.
