Morgan Yates has fallen for Ben Hennigen, but he doesn't know she exists. Then a teenage fairy godmother-in-training named Gretta Fleetwing comes to stay in Morgan's dollhouse. Gretta promises she can help Morgan with magic, but the fairy's spells have disastrous and hilarious results. The course of true love definitely does not run smooth in this wacky contemporary version of a A Midsummer Night's Dream.
“The characters are warm and genuine and readers who are not quite ready for Ann Brashares’s The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants will enjoy this glimpse of one’s girls encounters with magic, mayhem and growing up."
School Library Journal, August 2004
“Junior high angst mingles nicely with magic’s unintended consequences in this fun play on Shakespeare; it’s all trickery and mismatched couples until everything comes together as neatly and satisfyingly as in the original.”
