imperfectletter47. How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier
Young Adult, Fantasy, 300 pages
Charlie has a parking fairy, which means that when she's in a car, there is always a perfect parking spot. And although Charlie is too young to drive and hates cars, that doesn't stop people around her from taking advantage of her fairy whenever they can. So she's doing everything she can to figure out how to ditch her fairy.
I've been meaning to reread this for a while. I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time. It is fairly light and playful and has a refreshingly new premise. The characters act believably - incredibly stupidly at times, but believably, especially for high school students - and I love the universe that it envisions.
