Still a fairy‑in‑waiting, Ella is convinced she’s ready for wings and her own wand. As she helps her forgetful mum through magical mishaps at school, parties and important family dinners, Ella discovers that growing up means more than mastering the right spell code.
Fairy Mom and Me
by Sophie Kinsella
2018
Young Ella knows her family’s biggest secret: her ordinary‑seeming mum can turn into a fairy with a high‑tech wand. When well‑meant spells for cupcakes, parties and supermarket trips go wildly wrong, it’s often Ella who has to stay calm and sort out the glittery chaos.
Series background & context
The Fairy Mom and Me books are early chapter stories about Ella Brook, a primary‑school girl in a perfectly ordinary town who happens to have a very un‑ordinary mother. When her mum stamps her feet, wiggles and says a special word, she turns into a full fairy with wings, crown and a gadget‑packed Computawand.
Ella adores this secret and cannot wait for the day she will get her own wings.
Each book is made up of short, self‑contained adventures told in Ella’s chatty voice. A plan to bake simple cupcakes turns into a kitchen covered in magical icing. A routine supermarket trip is derailed by an over‑enthusiastic tidying spell. School events, holiday outings and playdates all become opportunities for magic to go just slightly, or spectacularly, wrong.
Because her mum is still learning the latest spell codes and fairy apps, it is often Ella who has to think clearly and patch up the chaos. She helps translate between the magical world and her unsuspecting dad, classmates and teachers, proving that problem‑solving and bravery are their own kind of magic.
Later books add bigger set pieces: catching a robber on a school trip, experimenting with unicorn wishes, or swimming with real mermaids. The stakes stay comforting and small‑scale—no one is truly in danger—but children get the fun of seeing everyday life turned on its head by spells, glitter and talking gadgets.
The tone is warm, silly and reassuring, with lots of line drawings to break up the text for newer readers. Underneath the jokes the series quietly touches on impatience, jealousy, friendship and what it feels like to want to grow up faster than the adults around you will allow. Families reading aloud will find plenty to laugh at in the well‑meant but disastrous magic, and plenty to recognise in Ella’s determination to make things right.
