Grace B.: Trust me, a no cavities fairy is AWESOME. Think of all your savings on dentist bills.

What would Charlie’s blue proto-fairy be if she still had it?

Because she got rid of it we will never know. But I suspect it was something boring like a lint repelling fairy.

Hi! I just finished reading HTDYF and I loved it!I think I would have a no cavities fairy because I’ve never ever had a cavity before and I love sweets and stuff but nooooo cavities! Not that useful but still fun:)
So my question is: What would Charlie’s blue proto-fairy be if she still had it?

Sasha:

I hope you still liked it as much when you finished.

I was wondering, are there some bad fairies, as in ones that don’t bring such great things?

Fairies are only for good things. Though, as in HTDYF, those good things may not seem good to the person with the fairy. But there are no illness fairy or bad luck fairies or anything like that. Those are curses. Perhaps one day I’ll write a book about curses. I once knew someone with a restaurant curse. So that whenever he went to a restaurant the waiters would ignore him, get his order wrong, and give him the wrong bill etc. etc.

When was it that you were near Brisbane?

One of my best friends lives in Brisbane so I’ve been up that way many many times.

I love the words you made up!

Thank you! It was fun

Camide: Thanks so much. I adore making up words. Always have done. Though the only word I actually made up for HTDYF was “spoffs”. The rest are actual words but old-fashioned or not usually used that way. (You’re right they’re not Aussie words.)

Maybe what you have is a relaxation fairy and that’s why you move at a slower pace? There are many people who would love to have a relaxation fairy.

Will You come to Brisbane? also i read Liar before this and i think that you must be a fairy or Micah or something really smart. Maybe you have a ausome fairy? More, are you planning to write books on subjects like liar and HTDYF? if soo what are their names. Sorry if i am bothering you but I think i either have an i bother everyone fairy or a Always-get-good-grades fairy. Probaly the latter. Thankies for your time, Grace.

I absolutely adore your books!
My favorites are Liar and HTDYF!
I was wondering, is there is singing fairy?

Is That Possible?

I’m sooo so sorry to bother you again, but how do you say ‘Fiorenze’???

By: Sasha

Sasha — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:35:12 +0000

oh, and just by the way, i am Australian, and i’ve lived all over the east coast and honest and true -ive never heard of any sort of “lingo” here. And when was it that you were near Brisbane?…

PS (as if i needed a ps)
I love the words you made up!

So I’m just starting reading HTDYF (cause I found it in the library on the only shelf I can ever be bothered to look at)and i already love it! I was wondering, are there some bad fairies, as in ones that don’t bring such great things?
And i reckon that if i had a fairy it might be a day dream fairy? could that be possible? im always so out of it cause even in the middle of exams or monopoly i day dream.
You should come up with a million (or how bout just a lot) different fairy types so that everyone can find out which fairy they have! That’d be great!
and sorry its so long but i have a tendency to ‘over express’…in the words of my literature teacher…and my english teacher…and my history teacher…..

The words you apparently made up (I was thinking they were Australian lingo or something) are addictive. I really like them and started using them. XD Especially Doos, Poxy, Pulchy, Doxhead, and Stellar. I love them! Who knows, maybe if we get other people to use them a lot, they’ll become real words! XD
Also, I believe I don’t have a fairy sadly…unless there can be a Slow Fairy as I’m always lazy, procrastinating, and just a plain turtle at everything! But as it seems, the fairies are suppose to bring something good, not bad, so that wouldn’t work…Maybe a Do-Well Fairy? One that helps me do well in things despite my slowness? I mean, I don’t do the best, not enough to be great, but enough to get by I suppose.Urk…I want a Quick-Wit Fairy…

Leanne: That’s probably the best fairy of all. You’re dead lucky.

Me again… hehehe.

I have a friendship fairy, and I LOVE it!!
No matter WHERE I go, even to a summercamp in the States (I live in BC), I manage to make friends with everyone there! I’ll go to the camp not knowing anybody, and come out with ten people’s email addresses and five people’s mailing addresses and multiple phone numbers. Most of the people on my contacts lists are people who I haven’t seen in years but I still keep in touch with!

Say: I will not say a word about “Say says.” I promise.

I don’t think that’s the most boring fairy in the world. That’s a fairy I’d like to have as I’m always losing my place in books. I think you’re lucky. (And I’m glad your book survived the fall!)

Okay 1, please don’t make fun of the way it says “Say Says”. Oh jeez, that just made it worse! I’m hopeless!
Anyway, I just felt the need to say that I have the most boring fairy in the whole world: a find your page fairy.
I read all the time, and no matter how many times I put my book down to some random place, and forget to mark it, I’ll always turn back to the rigt place.
I dropped my book (HTDYF, not all that much of a coincidence, really) and it fell of a ramp and into a big pile of dust and dirt and spider webs, and I still opened it to the right page.
It only works up to 15 minutes after I put the book down though.
Sorry, that was really…long.
I just thought of that after I finished HTDYF and I felt the need to share it with someone other than my mother.

Dana: Happy new year! It’s definitely an alternative Earth but one that’s a lot like this one.

I have a good travel fairy. Because I almost have good experiences when I go on trips to other places. (Well, the flying part is crap but once I get somewhere else it’s almost always fabulous.)

Merry Christmas! Did you imagine New Avalon in a sort of alternate Earth or just sort of a closed-from-the-world city in the actual Earth?

And also, what kind of fairy do you have, if fairies did exist?

By: Justine

Justine — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:56:18 +0000

Amber: Thank you!

I don’t know. I’m sure if I wrote more books set in that world I would know, but at the moment only Tamsin (Fiorenze’s mum) is the only one who knows exactly how at works.

Amber — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 01:40:08 +0000

First Of All, I Love this book and I’m hoping it will become a series.
Second thing, I was wondering why is it, no one can see the fairies, unless they look in a special mirror, and why is it that all they see is an aura?

By: Justine

Justine — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:07:19 +0000

Leanne: Ha! No, I did not see such a thing.

I just thought of these things I thought would be uncomfortable and erky but not actually fatal. Well, not unless you did it very badly.

Where did you get the ideas for the many (slightly painful) ways of removing fairies? I doubt you walked down the street and saw someone trying to bleach their fairy off….
