About the author

Sophie Kinsella has sold over 40 million copies of her books in more than 60 countries, and she has been translated into over 40 languages.

Sophie Kinsella first hit the UK bestseller lists in September 2000 with her first novel in the Shopaholic series – The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic (also published as Confessions of a Shopaholic). The book’s heroine, Becky Bloomwood – a fun and feisty financial journalist who loves shopping but is hopeless with money – captured the hearts of readers worldwide. Becky has since featured in seven further bestselling books, Shopaholic Abroad (also published as Shopaholic Takes Manhattan), Shopaholic Ties the Knot, Shopaholic & Sister, Shopaholic & Baby, Mini Shopaholic, Shopaholic to the Stars and Shopaholic to the Rescue. Becky Bloomwood came to the big screen in 2009 with the hit Disney movie Confessions of a Shopaholic, starring Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy.

Sophie has also written seven standalone novels which have all been bestsellers in the UK, USA and other countries around the world: Can You Keep A Secret?, The Undomestic Goddess, Remember Me?, Twenties Girl, I’ve Got Your Number, Wedding Night, and My Not So Perfect Life, which was a Goodreads Choice Awards finalist for Best Fiction in 2017.

In 2014 she published a Young Adult novel Finding Audrey about a teenage girl with social anxiety and her madcap family, and in January 2018, Sophie published her first illustrated book for young readers about the charming adventures of a mother-daughter fairy duo, Mummy Fairy and Me (also published as Fairy Mom and Me).

Sophie’s latest novel, Surprise Me, published in February 2018, presents a humorous yet moving portrait of a marriage—its intricacies, comforts, and complications. Surprise Me reveals that hidden layers in a close relationship are often yet to be discovered.

Sophie wrote her first novel under her real name, Madeleine Wickham, at the tender age of 24, whilst she was working as a financial journalist. The Tennis Party was immediately hailed as a success by critics and the public alike and became a top ten bestseller. She went on to publish six more novels as Madeleine Wickham: A Desirable Residence, Swimming Pool Sunday, The Gatecrasher, The Wedding Girl, Cocktails for Three and Sleeping Arrangements.

Sophie was born in London. She studied music at New College, Oxford, but after a year switched to Politics, Philosophy and Economics. She now lives in London, UK, with her husband and family.

A good read for anyone that loves magic and fairies and a good laugh

[Michelle · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ella and her mother return to the spotlight in the second Fairy Mom and Me book, and with all new lessons to learn!

As with book one, this has several small stories in it that each deal with a situation that goes a bit haywire and it’s up to Ella and her magic wielding mother to fix it. While I do find these to be a bit formulaic in style and a bit too cutesy, I think it’s a fun little series with a lot of heart. I really wish her mother were a bit more capable in her abilities and a little less impulsive, but I appreciate that she isn’t painted as a perfect person as so many adults are in children’s lit. As an adult, I personally find the parents’ relationship exhausting and frustrating, simply because it seems like neither listens to the other and there is a lot of exasperation coming across. However I think the stories themselves are really cute, and I loved that we got to see more of Ella’s other family like her aunt and grandmother.

Ella is a lovely main character. She’s got enough energy to keep up with her mom’s somewhat disastrous ideas and she’s sharp enough to pick up on things in order to help fix those messes. I love that she still looks up to and adores her mother even as her mother is causing a natural disaster in their own home.

It also has some incredibly cute illustrations that fit the story and really continue that light heart feel.

I think this is a series that will definitely be a hit with the early chapter book readers, who like adorable little stories full of magic and family.

Soooo ein tolles, glitzerndes Cover, da bekommt man sofort Lust auf dieses Buch...sowohl als Kind, wie auch als Erwachsener!
Wir haben schon das erste Buch, "Der grosse Cupcake Zauber" gelesen und waren nun riesig gespannt auf Mami Fee 2. Beide Bücher können aber komplett unabhängig voneinander gelesen, bzw. vorgelesen werden, denn auch im zweiten Buch stellt die kleine Ella nochmal ihre ganze Familie vor. Ich habe das Buch mit meinen beiden Kindern Jaden (7) und Elaine (4) gelesen.

Erstmal wurde das Cover bewundert und dann geht es auch schon los und Ella stellt ihre Familie vor. Wir kannten noch alle vom ersten Buch, aber natürlich haben wir diese kleine, witzige Vorstellung nicht ausgelassen.
Gleich ging es auch schon weiter mit dem ersten Kapitel und wir hatten einfach nur ganz viel Spaß mit der kleinen Ella und ihrer Mami. Denn Ella ihre Familie haben ein großes Geheimnis, alle Mädchen der Familie können ab dem Teeniealter zaubern, aber nicht alle können dies fehlerfrei ....da ist ganz viel lachen vorprogrammiert. Ob nun Olli den Magic Smart klaut und damit wegrennt, oder ob sich Menschen in Affen verwandeln, es passiert immer etwas neues, aufregendes. Selbst wenn Ella denkt, es ist langweilig, passiert irgendetwas unerwartetes und schon ist das Chaos perfekt. Wir haben eigentlich nur gelacht während des lesens.

Das Buch ist in 4 Kurzgeschichten unterteilt, unsere liebste war "SUPERTORTIBUS", aber Spaß hatten wir bei jeder Geschichte und auch die lustigen und liebevoll gestalteten Illustrationen waren auf jeder Seite einfach nur immer wieder toll anzuschauen! Eine ganz, ganz große Empfehlung von uns!

Ella and her fairy mum are back as they face dinner with her dad's colleagues, a wardrobe that's alive, a holiday to France and her birthday party where of course magic makes things go wrong in hilarious ways!



The magical duo are back again and I love this book for showing that adults can make mistakes and kids can fix mistakes too! It's hilarious and kids with enjoy this book I'm sure!

Sophie Kinsella returns to her charming Fairy Mom and Me series with book two, Fairy In Waiting, which is just as delightful and sweet as the first one! Young readers will love diving into four more short but fun stories about Ella and her fairy mom. Kinsella cast a whimsical and fresh fairy spell with her captivating storytelling, silly humor, and dazzling fairy magic. I look forward to more books in this series!

[Adriana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Here are a few things I enjoyed about this mother daughter story:
1. I loved the concept of a family of fairies (Ella's mom, aunt, and grandmother are all fairies) since I enjoy any magical element in the books I read.

2. Even if this isn't a writing aspect, the illustrations Marti Kiss contributed to the story were whimsical and wonderful to look at. That cover especially easily drew me into wanting to read this story.

3. I don't get to read that many stories with a positive mother-daughter storyline so I appreciated the closeness between Ella and her mom.

4. Ella's mom isn't very good with magic. She has to practice using her spells throughout the story and often makes mistakes. It's not only a funny aspect for children to enjoy but it is also a great way to show that everyone has flaws, even our parents.

5. Ella's mom used a fairy tutor on FairyTube which I particularly enjoyed because not only kids, but I could relate with learning something on the internet.

6. I thought it was a great idea to add in an antagonist to the story as it made me want to continue reading onto the next story.

7. Lastly, there is a recipe at the end for ice cream with different flavors. It's a simple recipe that any mother-daughter duo can create after reading this story together.

[Literary Chanteuse · Rating 4 out of 5]

This sequel is just as zany as the first book with spell disasters and fun, especially for all those who dream of fairy magic. Ella who is eager to become a fairy, just like her mother, manages to stir up mischief in each mini story. Her mother of course is right there alongside her stirring up her own amount along the way. A wonderful mother and daughter team that will keep the reader smiling and laughing. A fun read! 4.5 stars

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Mummy Fairy and Ella are back again. Four brand-new short stories filled with spells gone wrong, birthday parties, vacations, friendship, and more.

While I wasn’t entirely sure if I wanted to read it, see my review for the first book, I just couldn’t resist. And on the one hand I am happy I did, but on the other hand, I won’t be reading the third book. It just seems enormously stupid that the mum has had the wand for years, but yet is so inept at that she needs the help of her kid to fix things. I don’t even want to know how things would have ended if Ella wasn’t there. I get that magic is hard, I get that I am not the target audience for this book, however, really, you would think that after years (I am thinking mom is now at least in her thirties) she would have learned something, and knew how to use her wand and the spells that come with it. Maybe it is just better to give wands to children, or at least teach them from young age so that when they finally can have the wand legally, they know how to handle it without turning into monkeys or have a magic wardrobe or just let a whole airport disappear, and so many other things.

My favourite story would be (at least in part) the one about their vacation. I had a quick suspicion why the other family was always getting the best spots and I was right. It was quite fun as we haven’t met many others like our family. Though really, I was just snorting that even in a book people are towel fighting. OMG we need the best spots. Dear heavens, people. Please. Just enjoy your vacation.

I also loved the birthday story, and boy, oh boy, I would love such a gigantic cake myself for my vacation. But can I just ask why Zoe was invited? Sorry, if I don’t like the girl, and my daughter doesn’t like her at all, I wouldn’t invite the kid even if someone bribed me. It just seems ridiculous and a bit plot device (as she now probably will do anything to find out about Ella’s family and ruin things).

I am happy with how the wardrobe story turned out, I was a bit worried about it at first, but it seems I shouldn’t have had to worry. Also, while I would prefer my wardrobes to be unmagical, I do want a wardrobe that is decorated like the one in the story (I could already visualise the colours it would have).

The art is still my absolute favourite, it is just adorable and sweet.

But yeah, mom who is a fairy but does more wrong than right gets annoying and unfunny. So I am not going to be continuing with this series which is a shame. It does sound good. A family with a fairy mum.

Fairy in Waiting is the second book in the Fairy Mom and Me children's series.

I read both of these books with my niece (who is now 9). We both loved the first book so we were anxious to see what was in store for Ella and her mom.

The premise is this that the women in Ella's family can turn into fairies. But Ella's mom is not very good at magic. So mayhem ensues.

This book is made up of four short stories. My favorite was the third one (the ice cream story). My niece's favorite was the fourth one (the birthday party one).

Overall these stories were funny and very enjoyable.

The first one featured monkeys. And had the funniest moment of the book (something to do with braids). My niece and I were both laughing so hard. Especially since there was a picture to go with what was described.

The second story was both of our least favorites. It had to do with a magic wardrobe. But it was still enjoyable.

The third story has Ella on a family vacation. They meet another family and that was very funny.

In the last story we finally got to see Ella's frenemy Zoe again. This kid is so mean. But the story was very well done.

This was a really good sequel. I really hope that Sophie Kinsella adds to this series. They are perfect for kids aged 7-8. But my 9 year old niece really enjoyed it. And I think that it is great for adults to read with kids. I really liked it.

I'm sure many elementary school readers will love this book and this series because it's cool to imagine that someone's mother might be a fairy. But like some other reviewers, I found myself wondering why Ella Brook's mother is so incompetent when it comes to magic and to using her wand. Her spaciness seems odd to me. I also felt uncomfortable at her father's insistence that his wife hide her wand and not practice magic, which seems tantamount to having her hide her gifts. I liked the illustrations in this book better than the text. The book contains four short stories in which Ella and her mother become monkeys at an important dinner, purchase a magic wardrobe that has feelings and saves the day, go on vacation and meet another family just like them, and celebrate Ella's birthday with a party. There is quite a lot of humor in the books, which manages to save them and make them worth reading for me, but certainly not a second time. I enjoyed seeing the pool made of ice cream and sprinkles and the birthday cake that won't stop growing. Ella's longing to be able to use her mother's wand and practice magic for herself is evident in all the stories, but after all, she is a fairy in waiting and must wait to grow up, something many readers will be able to relate to. For me, the book was okay but nothing memorable.

Ella Brook has a secret. A secret so big that she can’t share it with anyone…ever. Ella’s mom is a fairy and Ella wants to be just like her. With her handy Computawand and just the right spell, Ella’s mom can stop the rain, perfectly braid Ella’s hair, and even empty a busy airport! The problem is that sometimes Ella’s mom can be a little forgetful and when that happens someone has to step in to save the day. Right?

Ella has watched all of her mom’s fairy classes on FairyTube and has memorized the magic spells on her Computawand. She’s positive that she’s ready to be a fairy, even though her mom says she’s too young and has to wait until she’s older. Ella doesn’t agree and the results are sticky, chilly, sprinkle-topped disaster!

Author Sophie Kinsella works a little magic of her own with her latest children’s chapter book, Fairy in Waiting. In this charming sequel to Fairy Mom and Me, humorous misadventures, unexpected spell results, and light-hearted family fun once again pop up at the turn of every page. Marta Kissi’s appealing black and white illustrations add their own touch of magic throughout the book, as well. Kinsella’s chapter book series, Mummy Fairies is sure to capture the imagination of young readers everywhere. Readeridoo!

Many thanks to LibraryThing for selecting me to receive an early reviewer’s copy of this delightful book.

Secondo libro dedicato ad Ella e alla sua Fata Mammetta.
Anche in questo libro ci sono quattro episodi che ci raccontano avventure e disavventure della nostra apprendista Fata e della sua mamma pasticciona.
Nel primo racconto sono alle prese con un pranzo di lavoro del papà in cui dovranno comportarsi bene e non usare la magia, ma per ritrovare un pappagallino smarrito Fata Mammetta ed Ella si trasformeranno in scimmie, elefanti e pinguini.
Nel secondo episodio un armadio usato si rivela in realtà magico e più efficiente di un antifurto.
Nel terzo racconto sono tutti in vacanza e fanno amicizia con una famiglia la cui mamma e figlia sono anche loro rispettivamente una fata e un’apprendista.
Infine Fata Mammetta, zia Jo e la nonna danno una mano al prestigiatore fallimentare che sta animando la festa di compleanno di Ella.

Questa volta non ho letto l’ebook ma ho ascoltato l’audiolibro mentre stiravo.
Anche la versione audio è piacevole, ben interpretata e con musiche ed effetti sonori sicuramente accattivanti per il target cui è rivolto.
Le dinamiche delle storie sono sempre le medesime, Fata Mammetta fa incantesimi, spesso combina qualche pasticcio che poi risolve grazie ai suggerimenti di Ella.
Il papà ed Olly sono solo figure di comparsa e zia Jo se la tira sempre troppo con la sua aria da prima della classe.
Un ascolto carino per chi ha dei bambini con cui condividerlo.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program.

It is so hard to describe this book! It seems like a very typical kids' book at first, but quickly becomes extremely imaginative and quirky. It is completely different than anything else by Sophie that I have ever read, but it is such a pleasure to read - and so surprising - that you just lose all sense of time while reading.

I don't want to give away any details of the stories, but I will say this: each chapter is a standalone story that involves the same characters, but each chapter is fully understandable and enjoyable on its own. Sort of like watching a sitcom, you don't need to watch the episodes in order or even catch them all to have maximum enjoyment.

The characters are memorable, the situations are absolutely ridiculous (but it's a kids' book, so this is a plus), and kids will love it. The stories are so vibrant, and involve magic spells they all follow the same memorable formula (and always end up causing far more trouble than anticipated), kids will love reading this book.

I could definitely see Sophie shopping this around to Netflix and Amazon to become an animated TV show.

I feel very lucky to have received this copy and would certainly buy others in the series.

Ella Brook is back - you know her, the girl whose mother is fairy? Well, no one knows she's a fairy - Ella has to keep that a secret, but they sure get in a lot a trouble together, Ella and her mom. When Ella and her mom are trying to find a lost parrot, they get turned into monkeys, that was easy, turning them back is much more difficult. A new antique wardrobe that needs repair has a magic all its own, and a family vacation to Florida may be cancelled after Ella's mom disappears everyone and everything in the airport.

Sophie Kinsella knows how to write a funny story - even an easy read. I just know Ella's mom is going to start some big problem as soon as she decides to use magic! Good thing Ella has been listening to the fairy lessons, too. Otherwise she might not know how to save the day!

Per questo libro sono ancora più in difficoltà su cosa dire di diverso rispetto al primo. Be', come per il precedente, la narrazione è divisa in episodi e le illustrazioni accompagnano bene la storia. Io sono abituata a vedere la Kinsella alle prese con commedie romantiche, ma non se la cava male nemmeno con i libri per bambini.
Fra trasformazioni collaterali in scimmie, elefanti e pinguini non ho potuto fare a meno di notare che la mamma di Ella fa affidamento sulla magia per ogni più piccola cosa, persino per fare le trecce alla figlia o fare le valigie per andare in vacanza. Poco importa se il marito le chiede di promettere di non usare la magia per un po', lei trova sempre la scusa per usarla pur non essendo brava a fare incantesimi. Mi rendo conto che è un libro per bambini e non dovrei andare a tirare fuori ogni più piccolo dettaglio che mi sembri stonato, ma è più forte di me. Forse è meglio se lascio questi libri ai bambini e io mi diriga altrove.

Thank you Librarything and Penguin Random House for sending me a hard copy of the book for my honest review.

Sophie Kinsella returns to her charming Fairy Mom and Me series with book two, Fairy In Waiting, which is just as delightful and sweet as the first one! I have a hard time keeping the first copy on the shelf, students are loving it.

Ella wants to be a fairy just like the rest of the females in her family. She is getting a great deal of practice trying to help her mom fix her spells when they go wrong.

Stamp your feet 3 times, clap your hands, wiggle your behind and say marshmallow. Becoming a fairy makes the students laugh each time.

I like that the book has 4 separate stories that I can choose how long I read.

Great job @KinsellaSophie

Interesting and humor story for all ages

Joyful read... I and my daughter,after reading Mummy fairy and me first book,were waiting for the second book to release... It's worth the wait... My daughter was so engrossed in reading each chapters and also engaged in solving the Puzzles at end of the book... We were laughing out loud when the mummy fairy magic fails and how the daughter fairy in waiting helps her out... My daughter could relate to the incidents happening inside it... And she was hoping that how she wishes me to be a fairy mummy... Lovely book... We had a memorable mother - daughter moment today by reading your book....

Ella Brook knows that she has to wait to become a fairy like her mother. She can't wait to be a fairy to have her own sparkly wings and Computawand. Ella and her mother are put through four different situations where the help of magic would be helpful. However, will Ella learn she doesn't need magic to save the day?

I like the book was split up into four small short stories that can be read in a few minutes. The book has a lot of laughs out loud moments when Ella's mom tries to use magic but, makes the situation worse. I found this book to be a great bonding experience when reading together. I liked that the book also included activities in the end that can be done together.

I read BOTH Fairy Mom and Me #1 and Fairy Mom and Me #2: Fairy in Waiting today in one sitting.

They were not what I expected when I ordered them from our library. I thought I was getting cute 'young adult' novels. I was wrong. Although Amazon lists them as "Age Range: 7 - 10 years and Grade Level: 2 - 5" I disagree with that. I KNOW my 5yr old granddaughter is going to love, love, love these little story vignettes as much as I did! They are silly, funny, loving and kind.

Enjoyed this one more than I thought I would - the premise doesn’t sound particularly original (a fairy mummy), but the illustrations are great and the stories are fun and creative (Violet and I especially liked the one with the wardrobe), with unique details (like the computawands). We’ll definitely be looking for others in the series.

A rather saccharine collection of four misadventures about a girl and her mother who is a fairy, I suspect this will be enthusiastically greeted by fans of the first book in the series. It is very readable but I find the concept is so cutesy that it feels almost satirical; so many sparkles and sprinkles.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for review.

"So that's what I am. A fairy in waiting. " (5)

This book was cute, I did find sometimes the life lessons were missing. I loved the characters and their development. I thought the plot was interesting.

This book was a quick read, as I read it in about an hour!

I would recommend it to any child!
