Written by Kate Korsh | Illustrated by Marta Altés

Oona Bramblegoop is a Newbie fairy, and she’s determined to do big things, especially if they can impress her idol, the Tooth Fairy. There’s just one problem: Oona’s magic never goes quite how she planned.

Oona’s protection spells work great, but only if you don’t mind getting a wedgie from a pair of magical underwear. And don’t even mention the smell -disaster that resulted from her first fire spell . . . yikes!

Good thing Oona is creative, and she never gives up, no matter how surprising her magic gets.

Packed with Fun Fairy Facts, humor, and lots of heart, this magical series celebrates finding friendship and your place in the world, even if you fit in a little sideways.

Praise for Newbie Fairy

  • “The sweet series opener is packed with goofy humor, whimsical footnotes, and amusing illustrations sure to keep young readers enthralled… It’s a lighthearted affair, but it also sneaks in wisdom about perseverance and ingenuity alongside the silliness. A fresh fairy tale with lots of laughs.”

    — Booklist

  • “Though there’s plenty of wacky humor, the book also folds in sound messages about persistence, teamwork, and constructive responses to criticism. And a fairy who socializes with gastropods and conjures up undergarments makes for a delightfully unlikely hero—the potential for future Bramblegoop adventures is high.”

    — Kirkus Reviews

  • “There is humor for all ages…This is a fun chapter book for budding readers. Sure to appeal to fans of the “Rainbow Magic Fairies” series and “Unicorn Diaries.””

Oona Bramblegoop's Sideways Magic: A Boy in the Fairy World Book Cover. A drawing of two fairies, and one is a baby. They have green hair and are suspended in air while a large human foot lurks in the purple background.

Written by Kate Korsh | Illustrated by Marta Altés

Oona loves being the Underwear Fairy, which means she gets to distribute magical safety undies to keep human children from falling down and hurting themselves. But when she gets trapped in the human world by Marco, a boy who wants to take a photo of her to prove fairies are real, she’s horrified—don’t let humans see you is one of fairydom’s most important rules!

Luckily, her cousin Horace and best friend Lucy (also known as the Tooth Fairy) help her get free. But then things get even more disastrous—Marco follows them back up to Blackberry Bog!

Can Oona and her friends get Marco safely back to the human world before he does too much damage—and before the Fairy Council finds out?

Praise for A Boy in the Fairy World

  • “This second installment of Bramblegoopian misadventures is filled with delightfully off-kilter schemes, set in a world that blends the quirky with the cute. Flowery, slug-speckled illustrations and footnotes with facts about the fairy world enhance the upbeat narrative and leave Oona poised to play detective in what promises to be an equally humorous third outing. . . Fun, funky, and imaginative.”

Underwear Fairy, Oona Brambelgoop, and her friends Horace and Lucy (the Tooth Fairy) are trying their hardest to prove they are responsible citizens of Fairydom, and catching the culprit of the great glitterberry warehouse theft is the perfect way to do it.

But when the leprechaun gold Lucy has given kids for their teeth also goes missing AND she starts to lose her magic, the friends realize this must be about more than just berries. It turns out Lucy has been manipulating magic to get more gold and the leprechauns are not happy!

Oona will have to use all the creativity she can muster to stand up to the leprechauns and save Lucy’s job. Can she restore harmony between the two magical communities before Lucy loses her magic for good?
