Fairy School Drop-out 2 - Undercover

Elly is going undercover at South Street School - a human school! Finally, no more fairy uniforms, no more flying to school, and no more spelling tests that can turn your teacher purple if you get the spell wrong! But even with her friend Jess to look out for her, Elly might find fitting in at her human school just as difficult as fitting in at a fairy school. Like, how do you play basketball without flying, how do you cook sausage rolls that don’t roll, and what do you wear to a fairy themed party? Maybe this isn’t going to be as easy as Elly thought...
Fairy School Drop-out

Did you know that not all fairies like being fairies? Elly doesn't just not like being a fairy, she hates it! Elly would rather wear her jeans than a scratchy tutu and ride to school her skateboard than fly in a fairy cloud! The perfect antidote to those 'oh so sweet' fairy stories.
Tug of War
In 2012 ‘The Emergency’ begins as terrorist bombs shatter cities around the UK and wreak havoc on normal life. Molly’s parents decide to send her and her brother, John, to safety in the countryside. Molly is sent to Paradise Farm where she is cared for by Pernilla, who has always wanted a child, and gives Molly everything she desires. Pernilla’s youthful enthusiasm is in stark contrast to Molly’s own frumpy, daggy mum. Molly is so caught up in her new life that she fails to take action when her friend tells her that John has been sent to live with an abusive farmer. It is not until her mother comes to visit that Molly realises how important her family is, and how close she is to losing them. But now she has to make a choice: Eeny-Meeny Miny mum. Who will Molly choose?
You're a Bad Man, Mr Gum!
Good evening. Mr Gum is a complete horror who hates children, animals, fun and corn on the cob. This book’s all about him. And an angry fairy who lives in his bathtub. And Jake the dog, and a little girl called Polly and an evil, stinky butcher all covered in guts. And there’s heroes and sweets and adventures and EVERYTHING. A whacky and zany start to a new series that a cross-between Monty Python and Roald Dahl.
Mr Gum and the Biscuit Billionaire
Good evening. Ok, this book’s a bit hard to describe. There’s this gingerbread man with electric muscles, see? And he’s as rich as a mushroom, right? And Mr Gum and Billy William are plotting to get the cash, yeah? And it’s up to Polly to save the day. And there’s a funfair and hot dogs, and Friday O’Leary shouts out some crazy stuff, and... hey that wasn’t so hard to describe after all.
Moon Man
Walter Speazlebud intends to visit the Moon. Not when he’s grown up; not even with the next NASA mission. No, Walter intends to use his power of Noitanigami (‘imagination’ to those of you who sadly lack the ability to spell, talk and travel backwards). With the help of gutsy Annie Zuckers and gentle Levon, Walter is going to travel back in time to 1969 to prove that the Moon landing happened. So what if the Moon’s surface looks like the Nevada desert? So what if Neil Armstrong botched his line (Shouldn’t it have been ‘one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind’?)? Walter’s beloved grandfather said it happened, and even if he is getting confused in the head, Walter’s grandfather must be right. Walter is going to prove it! And if Walter can master his gift of Noitanigami, perhaps then he will be able to take his grandfather back in time, too, and rid him of his Alzheimer’s . . .
