Review by my 7 year old son.
This story was sooooo good! I didn't want it to stop each night. It made me feel happy, and I found it easy to understand. The narrator in the audio book sounded nice and spoke clearly and slow enough for me to understand.

My daughter and I really enjoyed the first book in this series when we listened to it on audiobook so we were eager to crack on with the next installment.

My daughter )
(Aged 11) said “I thought it was really, really funny and had joked that I giggled at. It had a good storyline and when Danny was in trouble, I felt quite worried. All the story ideas were really creative and well - thought out. I would recommend this to any of my friends who like books that make them laugh.”

We both thought the narrator did a fantastic job delivering the jokes and keeping us engaged throughout.

4.5 stars, rounded up to 5. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to review an advanced copy of the book.

Stink : Fairy vs Wizard
Jenny McLachlan

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I recently read Dead Good Detectives by this author and really enjoyed both the storyline and the style of writing, so was excited to grab the chance at reading something a bit different by McLachlan and again, I loved it!

I believe that this is actually a book 2 featuring Stink the fairy, but it really didn't feel as though I'd missed out on anything important and so assume that these would be great standalone reads too!

In this story, Stink the fairy is in need of a new wand and needs her best friend Danny to help her do a good deed to earn her reward.
Danny is taking the wizard role in the form play at school and needs some help to be the best - and Stink, thinking that this could be her good deed, brings an evil wizard through the fairy door - but things definitely dont go to plan!

The relationship between Danny and Stink was brilliant. Although obviously trying their best to help each other out, they weren't the best at accomplishing tasks. There were some hilarious moments as they try to navigate school and home life and also try to keep the wizard out of trouble too.

I loved that Danny grew through the story. He started off not being the most popular kid at school and we can all definitely relate to that!
So I really think this would be great for the target audience to get behind Danny and root for him to get through the chaos.

The chapters were short and concise and this makes this the perfect book for confident readers to pick up and put down in short periods - before teatime, bedtime or over the weekends - but also a great school library book too.

The storyline is fun, funny and engaging, with lots going on to hold your attention throughout.
I'm also pretty sure, from the look of the cover, that there would be some amazing and fun illustrations within the book too - which would also appeal if this was being read aloud to the younger age group.

As an audiobook this would be brilliant to have on for the school run or even on a longer journey - at only 2.5 hours long - this would make a great distraction.

Really enjoyed this and will try and catch up with Stink and Danny in book one soon and look out for future adventures too.




💕Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for my ARC copy - this is my honest review 💕

This is a fun, quite easy, middle-grade book with lots of interest. It's easily relatable to children from different backgrounds and cultures and mixes the magical world in with reality.

Danny has the lead role in the school assembly play, but he just can't hack it! Can Stink help him or will she just make things worse? She needs to help.out if she wants new wings or a new wand....
