Flax Lilykicker is a young bad fairy who has somehow ended up in Miss Kisses' Academy of Sweetness for Little Fairies—and Miss Kisses is determined to give her a pink makeover. What's a bad fairy to do? Her plan is to earn a Badge of Badness, and get into a school for bad fairies. Together with her new friend the dog-face, Flax hatches a plan that's badder than bad.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Tasmanian author Sally Odgers launches her latest series with a new nom de plume. Flax Lilykicker, a fairy ill-suited to the Academy of Sweetness, allows herself to be recruited by some hags hoping to start a school for bad fairies. Admittance is guaranteed if she earns a Badge of Badness. With the help of a winged dog-face fairy, Flax abducts a young actress and her would-be kidnappers and extracts a ransom from the film-star’s mother. Unfortunately, these bad deeds turn to good, but Flax redeems herself by throwing a junk-food party that puts the good fairies temporarily out of commission. Mandrake’s fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek novel is the perfect antidote for the treacly fairy stories usually offered to this age group. Beginning chapter-book readers will appreciate the short sentences, large type, brief chapters, and frequent black-line illustrations, although some challenging vocabulary (“a skirling of bagpipes”) may deter some. Give this to fans of Emily Rodda’s Fairy Realm series, especially those who are ready for something more snarky. Grades 2-4. --Kay Weisman |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
Gone are the days of mischievous fairies who would 'borrow' items without asking, turn milk sour and lead folk to a water death in the swamps and lakes. Now fairies are good and sweet and do all they can to be helpful. But not all fairies are happy about this.
Two water hags, Maggie Nabbie and Auld Anni, are discussing the old days when fairies were tricky and bad. Lamenting that there are no more bad fairies, and blaming Miss Kisses' Academy of Sweetness for Little Fairies for it. But all is not lost.
A critter-fae happens upon the hags with news, Kristy Breeks, a hag and cleaner at Miss Kisses' Academy of Sweetness for Little Fairies has found a bad fairy. But they must get to her quickly before Miss Kisses turns her into another good fairy like all the others.
Flax is a student at Miss Kisses' Academy of Sweetness for Little Fairies, but she's not a very good student. While all the other fairies are busy going about performing sweet deeds for humans in an effort to earn a Seal of Sweetness, Flax is not. Flax would rather be bad. And one night she gets her chance.
Flax is awoken in the middle of the night by a tiny dog with wings, a critter-fae, with an invitation to earn a Badge of Badness from the newly formed Head Hags of Hags' Abademy of Badness. Flax cannot believe her luck.
Excited, Flax creates a plan that will gain her a Badge of Badness, but things don't seem to work out as planed. Despite kidnappers and mouldering mansion and banshees and an ogre. Will Flax be able to earn her Badge of Badness or have things gotten so bad, good, that she will instead be offered a Seal of Sweetness.
Flax the Feral Fairy is a fun and naughty tale that is very entertaining; children will love it. |
