Author Janette Rallison

I discovered author Janette Rallison over the Christmas holiday and the girls and I have been having a fabulous time reading and discussing her books.

We started with My Fair Godmother which transports the reader into the land of fairy tales. I spent much of my youth reading Grimm's Fairy Tales, so this was a charming read for any fan of classic fairy tales. Here's a synopsis for the book:

When Savannah's boyfriend dumps her for her older sister, she idly wishes for a true prince. Chrissy, her fairy godmother, shows up. Only Chrissy is not a real fairy godmother. She's only a fair fairy student. In her attempts to grant three wishes for Savannah, Savannah is sent to the Middle Ages smack into the stories of Cinderella and Snow White.

When Savannah finally gets out of the Middle Age mess, she discovers that Tristan, a boy from school, has been sent back to prove himself a worthy prince for her. Together, Tristan and Savannah have to conquer mystical creatures and find a way back into the present day.

We also discovered the following book that Whitney was delighted to start reading. This was not surprising since she has decided she wants to have a career in fashion merchandising. I think she's been out shopping with her oldest sister way too much!



It has been delightful to find a clean, humorous author for children and teens with the current trend of vampires, witches, and wizards taking over the young adult genre. For more information about Janette Rallison, check out her blog .
