When Fairies Go Bad

When Fairies Go Bad (Dragonbreath #7) by Ursula Vernon   201 pp.

I am a big fan of this quirky kid's series. In this episode, Danny Dragonbreath's mother is lured into a fairy ring of mushrooms and disappears. Danny, his best friend Wendell the iguana, and Christiana the crested lizard set out to save her. They first consult Danny's great-grandfather, who is a bit hard of hearing and thinks Wendell's name is Wanda. He gives the kids instructions on how to get to and navigate the world of Faerie (you can get there on the bus) and the tools needed to deal with the residents there. It all involves spoons and a magic incantation. Along the way they meet odd characters who try to stop them from their mission. And Danny is getting a little better (very little) at breathing fire. All ends up well as long as you don't need a spoon.
