About book When Fairies Go Bad (2012)

Awesome book!! A fairy ring appeared in Danny's garden. His mom pulled one of the mushrooms in the fairy rings up. That night, Danny woke up and saw his mother get sucked up in one of the mushrooms. He goes on a journey in fairy land with Wendel and Cristina. They got there from a bus that goes to mystical places. A fairy puts a spell on Christina that makes her always rhyme. If she trys hard enough and does it, she gets a coughing fit and pain. She thinks it is a dream. Find out what happens next in the book. When Danny's mother disappears into a toadstool ring, one night, Danny does what any self-respecting child would do - he follows her into the realm of the fairies and attempts to rescue her. Of course, being an Ursula Vernon novel, the fairies are not entirely what you would expect (they're dragon-fairies - squee!) and there is plenty of humour, with a slightly scientific slant, combined with general awesome randomness. I love the wry humour, the non patronising tone of writing and the general Ursula-ness of the whole affair. Truly, she ranks highly on my "admirable people" list.
