Overall Content Rating: Parents Strongly Cautioned PG-13

This young-adult fantasy follows a teen faerie godmother juggling magic, prom expectations, family pressure, and messy friendships. Tone is light and comedic much of the time, with magic mishaps and social drama rather than graphic content. Parents may notice moderate everyday swearing, frequent verbal insults, a single homophobic slur in dialogue, mild body talk and unwanted touching at social events, and storyline mention of false lesbian rumors tied to bullying. Sampled matches do not show graphic violence, explicit sex, or on-page assault; one reader note describes the book as free of sex and violence overall.

About this book

Hidden in the city of Portland, Oregon, is a shimmering world of magic—one faerie Olivia Feye doesn’t want to touch with a ten-foot wand. She’d rather study biology, or garden, or floss her teeth, or do literally anything except pay attention to the Glimmering world and her internship at Portland’s premier faerie godparent agency. But when her supervisor is hospitalized after a flying pumpkin carriage accident, Olivia is thrust into the middle of a case. And this one won’t be easy: Her client is Elle, a barista whose plans don’t include an enchanted prom or Prince Charming. The reward for a happily-ever-after is enough gold pieces to get Olivia out of the Glimmering world forever. But as she comes face-to-face with the complexities of faerie godmothering, she’s forced to wonder: How much is she willing to sacrifice for her own happy ending? Read more
