Fairy Godmothers Are For Wimps

Guest article by Laurel Veil

Summary:

Ever been invited to dinner only to find out, you’re the main course? That’s sort of what happened to Haley Elizabeth.

Twelve your old Haley is a lazy member of the Spring Hills Middle School student body, in the town of, you guessed it, Spring Hills. She is a so-so scholar unlike her science fair winning, cheerleading, flute playing sister, Hannah. She is also a procrastinator who stinks at the violin.

Life gets a little better for Haley when she becomes acquainted with Juniper Hagglesworth - language arts teacher by day, fairy godmother by night...or so Haley thinks.

Ms. Hagglesworth helps Haley get out of a few jams, but Haley will learn that Ms. Hagglesworth’s help comes at a very expensive price.

Can Haley get a grip on this magical mayhem before it’s too late? Or will her situation take a strange and surprising turn? Find out in this humorously enchanting new book, specifically geared towards young readers in elementary and middle school grades.

Quotes from Kirkus Review for Fairy Godmothers Are For Wimps:

"Veil, author of several young adult and children's stories has mastered the vocabulary and tone of a kid's lit..." -Kirkus Review

"Haley is a likable, sympathetic main character, and the supporting characters are also fleshed out. The pacing is exactly right; Veil takes time to set the scene and introduce characters before beginning the magical parts of the book."  -Kirkus Review

"...it's an attention grabber, particularly when the plot turns darker toward the end of the story."  -Kirkus Review

"A page-turning tale about an appealing, young narrator suddenly thrust into a magical world."  -Kirkus Review

Yes! You do know who you want to marry!

In the video below, Alan Cohen talks about the “Guru in You”.

He states, “I would say that there is something inside you and everyone that knows:

   

…and any question you can ask me and anyone who is a self-help teacher; if you sat with it long enough you could get the answer yourself.” Alan explains the two types of guru’s with a neat little story… and more!

 

Right now, I have two books by Alan Cohen on the go. I also listen to him on his radio show called Get Real on Hay House Radio. When I was a teenager I pestered my parents about being in the middle of reading five books at a time (and they still do) and low and behold, guess who is just like that too? I have been that way for many years actually and I understand the behaviour. I chalk it up to being a mix of ADD and having varied interests all at the same time.

Who am I in the mood for today?   

   His next show on Hay House Radio is tomorrow - Feb 13, 2014.

Description:  Finding True Love

Are you in love? Would you like to be?

 Alan shines light on the meaning and importance of rising in love rather than falling in love —first with yourself, and then drawing to you partnerships of all kinds that ennoble you and make your life better.

Live coaching on relationships.
