Fairy Mary McBee selects a group of girls: Lily, Ava, Madison, Sophie, Emma, Olivia - and Melody and Jackson who think they're better than everyone else. The girls learn lots of spells - shimmering, starry, shining, sparkling, glittering and twinkling ones - which they use to fix problems and help people in trouble. For every successful mission they gain a star, and once they have six stars they will be fully qualified stargirls! Madison leads the second mission and chooses to help her sister Izzy's friend Di who says her mother is very ill. Izzy has been behaving really weirdly since she started her new school and it turns out it's because Di is bullying her. With some magical intervention in the form of a starry spell, the girls discover the truth about Di - and once everything comes out the two girls become firm friends! Format:Paperback Pages:128

But the comfort they gave is cherished, a warm shining light, in the minds of many thousand of people, whose job, now the was is won, is to live, and to bring up their children to live, decent kindly lives as good citizens.

Feeling the effects of the wine she has been drinking, she makes sure she drives slowly and carefully, down into the underpass, not wanting to hit the sides of the tunnel. "The Little White Car" is a feel-good buddy novel about the untimely death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and how two gorgeous French girls go about urgently dismantling a small white car... while an enormous dog sniffs around in the garden and greasy mechanics drop in to provide counsel. A shining example of chick-lit with miles of style and no shortage of attitude, one could see it result in an unprecedented comarketing agreement between Club Monaco and Midas Mufflers.
