Product Description

Meet JACK; he's funny, good-looking, a bit of a loser ...a lot of a loser in fact, having lost his flat and car in a game of snooker. He's just fallen inexplicably in love with his exceedingly ex Ex LEILA, who can't stand the sight of him and is more than happy with her handsome City boyfriend HENRY. Henry, though, has suddenly found he's got the hots for KATIE, Leila's best friend and flatmate, who's been carrying a torch for Jack for so long, the Duracell batteries are beginning to run out ...What's going on? Can't Cupid shoot straight anymore? It's not his fault for once, but Charlie and Puck's, a couple of badly behaved fairies who have been acting more stupid than cupid. And unless they work out how to fix things pronto, theirs is going to end up one seriously grim fairytale . . A riotously imaginative novel, full of love, life and magic.

Customer Reviews

Magical and moving
My 19-year-old niece read ‘The Rebel Fairy’ after me, and couldn’t put it down. Then she went straight onto Amazon and ordered Ms Wright’s next book in advance. I think that says it all.
The Rebel Fairy is clearly supposed to be fun, and that is exactly what it is from beginning to end. It has romance, magic, and humour, with frequent depth of emotion that makes this ‘chick lit’ novel rise head and shoulders above the rest.
I especially loved the ‘Jack the lad’ character. Some people might think Jack was larger than life, but he was a very accurate characterisation of my own brother, to such a degree that I'm wondering if Ms Wright has met him.
I read some of these other reviews below, but they seemed a bit misguided and academic to me. One reviewer – suggests that this should be a children’s book - he can’t possibly have read it. The fairies in Ms Wright’s book are grown up one’s, more worldly wise and sexually aware than any you’d find in a children’s story.
‘The Rebel Fairy’ is a wonderfully inventive piece of writing. I’m looking forward avidly to Deborah Wright’s next creation.

A new look at magic...
This is just amazing! I'm so glad I stumbled over this book in a flea market (for 50p!) because it's just so laugh-out-loud hilarious! It takes a completely different view on what we mere humans perceive the magical world to be like with wonderful consequences.

It's all about Puck and Charlie, two very dissobedient and trouble making fairies who among other things have been known to fix Lottery results and tamper with voting ballots

It all starts when they make a human by the name of Jack loose is house and car (called Michelle) in a game of snooker because he made a backhanded comment about not believing in magic. The two fairies then get kicked out of fairy camp and aren't allowed to return until they've made Jack happy by new Years Eve and the disasterous events that happen inbetween wind them up in even bigger trouble when they get caught by the Starling Police and are sentenced to death (until they escape of course...)

This makes Harry Potter seem so juvenile and will leave you wondering how you ever got by without it! If there was one thing I'd change, it'd be to call it The Rebel Fairies because there's two of them, but now I'm just being picky...

An absolute brilliant read.

MAGICAL
I HAVE NEVER READ ANYTHING LIKE "THE REBEL FAIRY" BEFORE. IT WAS VERY FUNNY. I COULDNT PUT IT DOWN! I HAVE RECOMMEDED THIS BOOK TO SO MANY PEOPLE. AFTER IVE READ A BOOK I WILL PASS IT ON TO FRIENDS, BUT NOT THIS ONE. ITS ONE OF THE FEW BOOKS THAT I INTEND HOLDING ONTO & RE-READING IN THE FUTURE. ANY CHANCE WE COULD HAVE A SEQUEL TO IT? DEBORAH WRIGHT IS DEFINITELY A WRITER TO WATCH OUT FOR IN THE FUTURE! CONGRATULATIONS ON A BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN BOOK!
