Fiona wants to fix people's problems--but what if she's the one who
needs help? Kelly Jones, author of Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional
Poultry Farmer, delivers a funny, take-charge heroine kids will love.
Fiona may have problems, but she's no damsel in distress. She'd rather
be the one wielding the wand in the story: she wants to be the fairy
godperson. So when her mom sends her off to stay with relatives in a
place called Cold Hope for the summer, Fiona decides it's time to start
training for the role.
And wow, do these people need help! Aunt Becky's bakery is failing,
Great-uncle Timothy draws but never speaks, and Great-Aunt Alta is the
gloomiest, doomiest woman she's ever met.
But helping people in the real world isn't as easy as it sounds in fairy
tales. Change is messy. What if she's actually making things worse?
Still, with practice (and some deep breaths), Fiona will discover that
sometimes messy is okay. Sometimes things do get worse before they get
better. And sometimes trying to help fix other people's problems can
help you work on your own...
