Is Stink the Worst. Ever. Fairy? Readers will laugh out loud at this madcap story, as recorded by 11 year Danny Todd in his diary, about a fairy who seems to break all the rules.
Danny sets out to tease his sister, who believes strongly in fairies, that he can summon one. Not believing a word of it, he follows 6 invented steps including Knocking on a Fairy Door and Saying a Magic Rhyme. Much to his surprise, a real life fairy appears! What’s more, the fairy promises to stay with Danny until he dies!
Danny knows that sounds like a terrible threat but he doesn’t know quite how bad it is until Stink starts biting his ear to keep him in check! From then onwards, Danny lives in constant fear of Stink and the terrible things that happen next. How will he ever escape??
A laugh-out-loud diary-style story written and illustrated by the bestselling author of the Land of Roar. Perfect for fans of Loki and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Read the full description
We all know fairies. They're sweet and sparkly and lovely. Right? WRONG!
Meet Stink. Stink is the rudest, naughtiest fairy there's ever been. Instead of sparkles, Stink makes mess. Instead of being kind, Stink plays pranks. She also eats woodlice and rides on rats. From the moment Stink flies out of the fairy door and attaches herself to his hair, Danny knows that Stink is trouble. She needs his help to do a good deed and win her silver wings - and Danny will do anything to get Stink to go back to fairyland. But can Stink ever be good?
A laugh out loud adventure featuring the world's worst fairy, multiple multi-coloured foxes and loads of troll poo.
