Diary of a Fairy Godmother Audiobook (Unabridged)

" AA saccharin tale about a born witch who would rather be a fairy godmother. Incorporates parts of Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and Sleeping Beauty into the story. The narrator, who did use different voices for different characters, helped make it tooth-achingly sweet. "

" To be fair, I was so completely annoyed by the main character's name being Honky Dory that I couldn't get past it. The book itself was rather lackluster though. All in all, a disappointing read for me. "

" This was very cute and clever. I loved all the puns, the recipe for booger cookies (can't wait to try it!), and the pearls of "wisdom" quoted from Be the One with the Wand . "

" I really like this author. This book was pretty clever, but it wasn't neccessarily one of my favorites. It wasn't a very good read aloud book for 6th graders. The girls loved it, but the boys only tolerated it because they had to. It was very modern and incorporated most fairy tales well into the story. "

" I listened to this book on CD. It was very cute. Honky Dory is a witch that doesn't have the money to attend Hogwarts. She and her classmates have quirky names and are in school to learn how to be witches that aren't exactly nice. Honky Dory runs into a fairy godmother at the christening of "sleeping beauty" and through much resistance on her own part decides that her destiny is to be a fairy godmother herself. This book is filled with twists and turns through Hogwarts terminology and fairy tales of times past. All in all it was fun but I would be interested to hear how teachers would use this in class. "

" This is part of the Battle of the Books this year. I enjoyed it, mostly because I like 'twisted' or 'fractured' fairy tales. "

" A light little story about a witch who is at the top of her class when she begins to wonder if maybe there is something else she really wants to be. "

" Good book for older kids. "

" kind of good to me a lil. "

" A fun story with some great tidbits to think about. "

" Very cleverly written book I picked up at a book fair for my 2nd grader. The basic story was easily understood by her, but not the nonstop added humor about witches, devils, and magic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and will look for more by same author. "

" This book held my interest because of the way the author tied well-known fairy tales into the personal experiences of a witch who is experimenting with granting wishes (fairy godmothering). It was a fun read. "

" This book put a really great spin on classic fairy tales. Hunky Dory, the "wickedest witch wherever the four winds blow" finds out that some people (fairy godmothers) use their powers for good instead of wickedness. So: will Hunky be good or evil? Read this book to find out! "

" Cute premise. The book is high on cuteness and positive messages, but low on characterization and plot. I kept waiting for something more, and the book never delivers. "

" Imaginative and clever with a smoothly flowing dialogue and first person narrative. Entertaining for both a child and a parent. "

" Hunky Dory was supposed to be the wickedest witch ever born... but then the fairy godmother genes kick in. Hysterically funny. "

" I was very disappointed in this book. Sahara Special and were both so interesting and well-written. But this one, at least for me, didn't measure up at all. "

" I like this book because it's just fun and short... whenever I find it laying around the house, I just pick it up and read it, and each time you get something new out of it. "

" LOVE this author and this book did not disappoint...a lot of familiar characters and storylines woven into a really interesting story for kids. "

" The current most evil witch in witch school turned good? Why not! This book has awesome graphics and chocolate moons. A funny story and an "I-can't-put-it-down" type of book. "

" I read this in 4th grade and thought it was the best book ever... who knows, maybe it was? "

" Well I just started like 2 minutes ago. "

" Fun for kids. "

" I red this book in fith grade and fell in love with it i laughed many many times "

" As I said before--If it's Esme it's obviously good! "

" i don't totally remember it because it's been a while but i do remember it was good enough to refresh my memory by rereading it. so go ahead and try it once in a full moon. who knows mayb you'll like it. "

" This is a very silly book and there were times when I was rolling my eyes, but what kept me reading were the many little references to classic fairy tales. Not the best written thing I've read this year, but it was enjoyable enough to stick with it til the end. "

" Fabulous book, i read this to my girls and most of the humor went right over their heads but i laughed throughout. A great addition to my personal library. "

" A girl who was going to be the wicked witch of the west finds out about Fairy Godmothers and ..... to the dismay of her family.....things may change. Grades 4+ "

" This book is for people who I must say have a strange side.but is defiantly a great book to read!!!!!!!!!! "

" What a fun book this was! I got a kick out of the character's, their names and their antics. Loved the voice of the reader. "
