Ava's Sparkling Spell (Stargirl Academy 4)

Description

The girls in Team Starlight learn spells and earn their stars in this magical new young fiction series! Welcome to Stargirl Academy, the magical school in the clouds! Previously a rather old-fashioned establishment, it has been reopened by its head teacher to train children to be modern day fairy godmothers. Fairy Mary McBee selects a group of girls: Lily, Ava, Madison, Sophie, Emma, Olivia - and Melody and Jackson who think they're better than everyone else. The girls learn lots of spells - shimmering, starry, shining, sparkling, glittering and twinkling ones - which they use to fix problems and help people in trouble. For every successful mission they gain a star, and once they have six stars they will be fully qualified stargirls! It's Lily's turn to lead a mission but she hands over to Ava who is worried about her lovely local cafe. Cafe Blush is losing customers to a new place down the road and faces closure. The Stargirls investigate the new cafe and find it's a sham - what's more, the kitchen is disgusting! With a nifty sparkling spell, the girls expose the owners' sloppy standards and everyone returns to Cafe Blush! Another successful mission - and another star! Features: major marketing campaign and website to promote series; highly collectable with sparkly silver foil covers; by the author of the hugely successful Tiara Club series; popular themes of friendship and magic in a school setting; and fresh, lively and funny line drawings by Joanne Davies.
