Can you imagine what would happen if an ordinary Year 7 boy – like Danny Todd for example – had a mischievous, unruly fairy as a best friend; and then if said fairy accompanied him to school, hidden in his hair? Jenny McLachlan can, and she describes it all brilliantly in this very funny series.
As readers of the first book will know, Stink the fairy means well, especially when trying to do enough good deeds to earn herself the gold nuggets to buy a new wand. The trouble is, she’s easily distracted and, now that her wand is on its last legs, her spells don’t tend to work as expected either.
Add evil wizard Rufus Nobeard into the mix, and his plan to kidnap Danny’s chemistry teacher Miss Nichol, and the stage is set for an adventure that is totally bonkers but also completely realistic, rooted as it is in secondary school life. This had me laughing out loud (in public) – younger readers will probably love it even more.
The second book in the laugh-out-loud cartoon-filled adventure series for 7+ readers, featuring the world’s funniest fairy, from the bestselling author of The Land of Roar.

Before you read my diary here is some stuff you need to know:
2 I love drawing cartoons
3 I have two pet rats called Tony and Noah.
4 I also have a FAIRY called Stink . . . Danny’s life hasn’t been the same since a REAL fairy flew out of a fairy door, attached herself to his hair and turned his life upside down. In this book Stink tries to help Danny with his lead role in the school play, makes a Malteser adventure playground in the science cupboard and accidentally unleashes a giant all-powerful wizard into the world.
