How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed the world Justine Larbalestier created where fairies are a part of everyday life in this alternate universe, not unlike Australia. The dream like high schools were fun and interesting. The idea of a sports school is something I could see kids nowadays wishing existed, although the art school sounded more my style!

The main character, 14-year-old, Charlie was also likable. She did tend to dwell on some things, but because I expect that kind of self-centered behavior from any teenage girl, it didn't bother me and seemed appropriate. I enjoyed her character growth as well. Overall a fun novel, with a few twists and turns to keep the reader involved.
