I also couldn’t help falling for Tristan. Her wry observations on everything from wetsuits vs bikinis to hygiene in the middle ages had my face aching from smiling so much. I loved Savannah’s character arc and her development from terminally clueless to pretty damn resourceful. Her third wish sends classmate Tristan back to the middle ages until he can become a prince, and Savannah is determined to find a way to help him, even if it means going back to eating peas porridge in the pot, nine days old. Unfortunately, when your fairy godmother is just a “fair” student, such a vague wish can only mean trouble and Savannah soon finds herself trapped in the Middle Ages, doomed to live out the early, dreary chapters of first Cinderella’s and then Snow White’s story. When Chrissy shows up in a dazzle of bright lights and asks her to name her heart’s desire, Savannah can’t help wishing her life was like a fairytale with a handsome prince at the end. It all begins when mediocre fairy godmother student Chrissy Everstar has to do an extra credit project and is put on the case of 15 year old Savannah who is inconsolable after sister Jane steals her hot prom date Hunter. I really wanted something lighthearted and fun after the heavier books I’ve been reading lately and this charming and hilarious novel proved to be exactly what I needed. And the premise for this one got me so excited, it ended up as my WoW pick number 7. The only sub-genre I look forward to as much as dystopia is fairy-tale retellings.
