Dumbellina is no ordinary fairy: she wears denim dungarees, a check shirt, steel toe-capped boots and a red safety helmet - an Iron Fairy no less. That means she's tough: she sorts things out. Not by spells exactly - she's an all-action fairy - but she can certainly make things happen. That's just what she does - or rather helps Rebecca to do - when the family have to move house and Becca goes to a new school. An enjoyable blend of fantasy and realism which moves along at just the right pace to keep readers turning the pages to a satisfying end.
