Description

The third book in the hilarious chapter book series about Oona the Underwear Fairy, where Oona has to figure out who is stealing the Tooth Fairy's gold.

    Underwear Fairy, Oona Brambelgoop, and her friends Horace and Lucy (the Tooth Fairy) are trying their hardest to prove they are responsible citizens of Fairydom, and catching the culprit of the great glitterberry warehouse theft is the perfect way to do it.
    But when the leprechaun gold Lucy has given kids for their teeth also goes missing AND she starts to lose her magic, the friends realize this must be about more than just berries. It turns out Lucy has been manipulating magic to get more gold and the leprechauns are not happy!
    Oona will have to use all the creativity she can muster to stand up to the leprechauns and save Lucy’s job. Can she restore harmony between the two magical communities before Lucy loses her magic for good?
    Packed with Fun Fairy Facts, humor, and lots of heart, this magical series celebrates finding friendship and your place in the world, even if you fit in a little sideways.

Praise for Fairies vs. Leprechauns (Oona Bramblegoop's Sideways Magic #3)

“There is humor for all ages…with delightful, burgundy-tone cartoon drawings. This is a fun chapter book for budding readers. Sure to appeal to fans of the “Rainbow Magic Fairies” series and “Unicorn Diaries”.” —School Library Journal

“The sweet series opener is packed with goofy humor, whimsical footnotes, and amusing illustrations sure to keep young readers enthralled. . . It’s a lighthearted affair, but it also sneaks in wisdom about perseverance and ingenuity alongside the silliness. A fresh fairy tale with lots of laughs.” —Booklist

“Though there’s plenty of wacky humor, the book also folds in sound messages about persistence, teamwork, and constructive responses to criticism. [Oona] makes for a delightfully unlikely hero—the potential for future Bramblegoop adventures is high.” —Kirkus Reviews

“[A] delightful and funny debut chapter book about a Newbie Fairy determined to do big things.” – LA Parent
