Diary of a Teenage Fairy Godmother
Author: Kathleen Baldwin
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781484038918
Category : Fairy godmothers
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Award-winning author Kathleen Baldwin teamed up with actress mystery writer Andrea Sisco to write a fun contemporary YA fairytale, an adventure suitable for any age. This teen fantasy romance contains strong emotions, some kissing, but no sex. "...a story that girls and women of all ages can love ... a magical world you want to explore even after this story has ended." -Bestselling Author, Suzanne Ferrell, 5 stars *Diary of a Teenage Fairy Godmother* A Fairy Godmother is not some overgrown pixie in a pink tutu. She's a guardian and a warrior specially trained to protect Cinderella's descendants. Lilliana Skye is undercover at a Texas high school on her first assignment to save one of Cinderella's troubled great-granddaughters. But everything goes terribly wrong. Who wouldn't want their very own Fairy Godmother? Jess Harrison, that's who. She doesn't believe in fairytale magic or happily-ever-afters. The death of her oldest brother nuked her world. Grief sucks. Jess is tough, angry, and so intelligent it's scary. If she ever did see a mythical fairy she would probably stomp it into oblivion with her army boots. Fortunately Jess has another brother, but when Jake meets the new girl he falls hard. In Jess's universe that means trouble. Her shields go up. Code red. Weapons loaded. Their oldest brother's tragic accident turned Jess and Jake's parents into emotional zombies. They avoided grieving and buried themselves in work. Jake is the only real family Jess really has left and she's fiercely protective. She can't let her brother fall in love with a dangerous lunatic who claims to be a Fairy Godmother. That's fine with Lilliana. Falling in love with a human is forbidden, not to mention ... deadly. And maybe, just maybe, if she didn't have to protect Jake and Jess she might be able to keep her wayward heart in check. But someone from the fairy realm is trying to kill all three of them and Lilliana has to find out why before it's too late. _"I was hooked. This is a fast, fun read with more than enough world-building for fantasy fans" -Yvonne, 5 stars_ _"I liked the fantasy mixed with high school angst in this romance/action blend." - PA, 5 stars_ *Book Club Discussion Guide: * Available on Author Kathleen Baldwin's website. AUTHORS' NOTE: This book is suitable for girls, women, guys, anyone who loves a modern fairytale. The two of us are particularly fond of the YA fairytales by amazing authors: Shannon Hale, Gail Carson Levine, Marissa Meyer, and Diana Wynne Jones. But our book is a magical adventure that takes place right here, right now, in our world. We set this book in a contemporary world because we believe there is a kind of magic all around us, inside each of us, just waiting to be revealed. Diary of a Teenage Fairy Godmother is a paranormal tale of finding hope, discovering truth, and learning to love. _"I love this book so much!!! I didn't want it to end." Dancer Girl, 5 stars_ Dancer Girl, please contact us. We want to send you a prize for being our all time favorite review. Short, sweet, and perfect, your words made so happy we twirled for joy.

Petal Pusher
Author: Laurie Lindeen
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416545670
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Set in the years between the meteoric launches of Madonna and Courtney Love, Petal Pusher takes readers on a stirring journey across rock and roll, from the big-haired 1980s to the grunge-filled 1990s, when Laurie Lindeen brought her all-girl band, Zuzu's Petals, to compete in the indie rock arena. Minneapolis in the eighties was a musical hotbed, the land of 10,000 lakes and 10,000 bands that gave birth to Prince, the Replacements, and Soul Asylum. For Laurie Lindeen it was the perfect place to launch her rock-and-roll dream. She moved to the city with her best friends Phyll ("Annie Oakley meets Patsy Cline") and Coleen ("former cheerleader gone off the arty deep end") to crash in decrepit apartments and coax punk rock from crappy used guitars. But unbeknownst to her friends, Laurie has a secret in her past -- a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis that fuels her passion to make it big on the local, national, and international rock scene. With inspiring determination, Laurie and her Zuzu's Petals survive the many challenges of being underdogs in a man's world. Then Laurie is thrown a curveball when she falls for Paul Westerberg of Replacements fame and reevaluates exactly what it means to "make it big." By turns hilarious and heartrending, Petal Pusher is a brilliant behind-the-scenes look at music on the front lines, and the awe-inspiring tale of one woman's fight against disease and the disillusionment of life in the rock underground.
