Welcome to New Avalon, where everyone has a personal fairy. Though invisible to the naked eye, a personal fairy, like a specialized good luck charm, is vital to success. And in the case of the students at New Avalon Sports High, it might just determine whether you make the team, pass a class, or find that perfect outfit. But for 14-year-old Charlie, having a Parking Fairy is worse than having nothing at all – especially when the school bully carts her around like his own personal parking pass. Enter: The Plan. At first, teaming up with arch-enemy Fiorenza (who has an All-The-Boys-Like-You Fairy) seems like a great idea. But when Charlie unexpectedly gets her heart’s desire, it isn’t at all what she thought it would be like, and she’ll have resort to extraordinary measures to ditch her fairy. The question is: will Charlie herself survive the fairy ditching experiment?

See, Corcovado Ecologica, a popular resort and preserve, isn’t only a beautiful getaway; it’s also a great place to study three species of monkeys.

Or so we thought.

When we arrived on the scene, we found the place in a shambles, and the monkeys were few and far between.

And if the problem gets worse, the resort’s going to be in trouble.

Clearly my friends and I won’t have much time for “monkeying around” on this trip – we’ve got a case to crack!

‘She was little,’ he said. ‘Little like me. But old. Older than you’.

Those words gave me a cold shock. I could see Dennis imagining fairies, but old ones?

When Bobby’s mother moves the family into a rented house in the country, a neighbour tells him that a child was once murdered there.

Bobby doesn’t care. All he wants is to get back to Dublin and to resume his wild life there, stealing from the crowded shopping streets and racing stolen cars at night.

But getting his old life back doesn’t turn out to be so easy, and the longer he spends in the old cottage, the more convinced he becomes that something very strange is going on there.

Was there really a murder? And if so, was it the one he has been told about?

He’s strapped to a chair. He’s covered in blood and bruises.

He hurts all over. And a strange voice outside the door just ordered his death.

The last thing he can remember, he was a normal high-school kid doing normal things-working on his homework, practicing karate, daydreaming of becoming an air force pilot, writing a pretty girl’s number on his hand.

How long ago was that? Where is he now? Who is he really?

And more to the point . . . how is he going to get out of this room alive?

She tries to tune out all these distractions by keeping her hoodie up and her iPod cranked loud, until Damen, the cute new boy at school, convinces her to come out of her shell.

Damen, however, is frighteningly clever—and has the strange ability to produce tulips from nowhere and disappear himself at critical moments.

Turns out it was a pretty popular event. Way more people than expected showed up, and then the store window was smashed, and people were injured!

Later I found out that Alicia’s most expensive dress was destroyed and her store had been vandalized.

Sounds like more than one-day-sale damage to me.

I may not be a fashion expert, but this is one case I’m ready to size up.
