My Fair Godmother ~ Janette Rallison

my-fair-godmotherAfter her boyfriend dumps her for her older sister, sophomore Savannah Delano wishes she could find a true prince to take her to the prom. Enter Chrissy (Chrysanthemum) Everstar: Savannah’s gum-chewing, cell phone–carrying, high heel-wearing Fair Godmother. Showing why she’s only Fair—because she’s not a very good fairy student—Chrissy mistakenly sends Savannah back in time to the Middle Ages, first as Cinderella, then as Snow White. Finally she sends Tristan, a boy in Savannah’s class, back instead to turn him into her prom-worthy prince. When Savannah returns to the Middle Ages to save Tristan, they must team up to defeat a troll, a dragon, and the mysterious and undeniably sexy Black Knight.

With a fairy godmother like Chrysanthemum Everstar on your side, you’d be better off with your enemies. Sheesh. In this cute young adult novel, wishes are perilous and Savannah is a sweet heroine who deserves her happily-ever-after.

My Fair Godmother was a quick read that had a lot of charm – mostly due to Savannah’s voice, which ranges from sweet to sarcastic to self-deprecating – and a fairy tale ending. I’ve never read Rallison before, but her writing has a nice flow to it, and the pace was great. Basically, this book was a pleasant diversion, and just the thing I needed after coming off of the 700 page epic that was The Way of Shadows.
