I am happy to be hosting a stop on the blog tour for FAIRY IN WAITING by Sophie Kinsella! I have some short excerpts to share with you today check it out and enter to win the giveaway below!
About The Book:
Fans of Sophie Kinsella's sparkling humor and the first book in the illustrated duology will love these next adventures featuring their favorite mother-daughter fairy team.
Ella Brook is used to being a fairy in waiting. It means that one day she will become a fairy with her own sparkly wings and Computawand, just like her mom.
But sometimes Ella doesn't want to have to wait any longer. After all, she helps her mom remember magic codes all the time! If only there were a spell for growing up faster.
Will Ella prove that she's ready to become a fairy? Or will she learn that she doesn't need real magic to save the day?
Now on to the excerpts!
When my mom turns into a fairy, she still looks like herself but even
more beautiful. The sunlight was gleaming on her wings, and her dress was all
sparkly and her silver crown shimmered.
****************************************************************************
I remembered the spell for a vanilla ice cream with sprinkles on top.
I knew I wasn’t supposed to do any magic, especially with a Computawand
that wasn’t mine, but an ice cream cone would be yummy. If I ate it quickly, no
one would know.
I pressed 4-3-2-bleep-bleep-boop. Then I waved the wand and said
“Sprinkleridoo!”
****************************************************************************
Suddenly all three were fairies with shimmering wings. Mom was wearing
a silver crown, Aunty Jo Fairy was wearing her diamond crown, and Granny Fairy
was wearing her golden crown with blue stones. When you become a grown-up
fairy, you choose your Fairy Crown and you have it forever. Mine is going to be
pink and silver with diamonds all over.
About Sophie:
Sophie Kinsella
has sold over 40 million copies of her books in more than 60 countries, and she
has been translated into over 40 languages.
Sophie’s latest
novel, Surprise Me, presents a humorous yet moving portrait of a marriage—its intricacies,
comforts, and complications. Surprise Me reveals that hidden layers in a close
relationship are often yet to be discovered.
Sophie Kinsella
first hit the UK bestseller lists in September 2000 with her first novel in the
Shopaholic series – The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic
(also published as Confessions of a Shopaholic). The book’s heroine, Becky
Bloomwood – a fun and feisty financial journalist who loves
shopping but is hopeless with money – captured the
hearts of readers worldwide. Becky has since featured in seven further
bestselling books, Shopaholic Abroad (also published as Shopaholic Takes
Manhattan), Shopaholic Ties the Knot, Shopaholic & Sister, Shopaholic &
Baby, Mini Shopaholic, Shopaholic to the Stars and Shopaholic to the Rescue.
Becky Bloomwood came to the big screen in 2009 with the hit Disney movie
Confessions of a Shopaholic, starring Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy.
Sophie has also
written seven standalone novels which have all been bestsellers in the UK, USA
and other countries around the world: Can You Keep A Secret?, The Undomestic
Goddess, Remember Me?, Twenties Girl, I’ve Got Your Number, Wedding Night, and
My Not So Perfect Life, which was a Goodreads Choice Awards finalist for Best
Fiction in 2017.
In 2014 she
published a Young Adult novel Finding Audrey about a teenage girl with social
anxiety and her madcap family, and in January 2018, Sophie published her first
illustrated book for young readers about the charming adventures of a
mother-daughter fairy duo, Mummy Fairy and Me (also published as Fairy Mom and
Me).
Sophie wrote her first
novel under her real name, Madeleine Wickham, at the tender age of 24, whilst
she was working as a financial journalist. The Tennis Party was immediately
hailed as a success by critics and the public alike and became a top ten
bestseller. She went on to publish six more novels as Madeleine Wickham: A
Desirable Residence, Swimming Pool Sunday, The Gatecrasher, The Wedding Girl,
Cocktails for Three and Sleeping Arrangements.
Sophie was born in
London. She studied music at New College, Oxford, but after a year switched to
Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She now lives in London, UK, with her
husband and family.
