Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. heartwarming quick read ( ) I think this is technically YA, but it was so fluffy and light and silly that I imagine it appealing more to Disney Channel fans of the 8-10 year old range. Plus, it fits the Disney mold. Dead mom? check. Clueless dad? Check. Pseudo-rebellious-sort-of-angry-punk-chick (a la Wizard's Alex)? Check. Cute boy? Check. Fairy Godmothers? check. yikes. The characters had zero depth. Delaney, the main character, grieves for her dead mother hardly at all, yet we're supposed to believe that they were incredibly close, like sisters, nearly. I was not impressed. This book needed a good editor--and someone to say, "Hey. This girls' mom just died. Shouldn't she have to deal with that?" Don't Expect Magic certainly lives up to its title. It was an entertaining novel, but it wasn't thrilling or even that magical. Like the stereotypical teenage girl, the main character was self-absorbed, whiny, and manipulative.

This turned out to be a charming story, about families, secrets, and acceptance. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Her mom is dead, her best friend is across the country, and she's stuck in California with "Dr. Hank," her famous life-coach fatherâ??a man she barely knows. Happily ever after? Yeah, right. Then Dr. Hank tells her an outrageous secret: he's a fairy godmotherâ??an f.g.â??and he can prove it. And by the way? The f.g. gene is hereditary. Meaning there's a good chance that New Jersey tough girl Delaney is someone's fairy godmother.
