Sylvia Locke lives in Farmington, a farming village in Fairytale land. Ever since her parents left to go search for the Earrings of Power, she has been living with her grandparents. Her grandparents send her to visit her aunt and step-cousins due to her bad attitude in hopes that she will learn some manners from her step-cousins. So, Sylvia goes to live with her step-cousins Macey and Lacey in the suburbs of Fairytale land. There, she receives an invitation to the Q-ball, a place where the young prince will look for a princess to assist him with his official duties. Unfortunately, Sylvia's step-cousins are unable to go, so Sylvia's aunt says she will not take her. Sylvia is determined to go to the Q-ball, so she enlists the help of her (evil) fairy godmother. But will Sylvia be able to pull off making it to the ball? And will she finally find a place where she belongs?

Opinion: 

I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked that the story took place in Fairytale Land and involved a lot of mystical elements like fairy godmothers and gnomes. Additionally, I think the author did a great job of subtly incorporating common fairy tales into the book, such as Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk. I also liked how the author developed Sylvia's character as the story went on by explaining the reasons for her bad behavior earlier in the book. The story moved at a fast pace, keeping the story engaging for younger audiences. Within the book, there are black-and-white drawings/illustrations that depict the various scenes that are unfolding. Overall, I think this chapter book is excellent for younger readers. It contains a good mix of suspense and magic!
