I read this one with my granddaughter for a school book report project. Geared towards a mid 4th grade reading level, my 3rd grader breezed through it quickly. She thought that it was a fun read and really enjoyed it.

She longs to go to a human school, but only really good fairies get to go to those. When the Head Fairy of her school threatens to expel her if she doesn't shape up in a week, Elly is faced with a choice: be a fairy and wear the itchy uniform, or disguise herself as a human.
