This book is about a girl named Philippa Fisher. She and her friend Charlotte were making daisy chains for the last time because Charlotte is moving. Philippa's parentsare party entertainers and they embarres Philippa, and her mom has tought her a song about fairies. That song got stuck in her head so she was singing it and she picked a daisy. The next day at school there was a new girl in her class. Her name was Daisy. She looked kind of different from the others. Her teacher said to Philippa "You can take care of Daisy because she is new to the school."
Another character would be Trisha Miles. She is popular and mean. Daisy wasn't that nice to Philippa in the beginning..... then Daisy wasn't supossed to, but she told Philippa that she was her Fairy Godmother. She had an assingment to do but she didn't like it nor did she like Philippa. That's the only reason she told her. Daisy had to give Philippa 3 wishes. These are the wishes.

1. She wished to have normal parents. The next day was like any other day except that she had normal parents. Normal breakfast. Normal cars.

2. She wished to be popular. Now, it sounds like it would be fun to be popular. It reallt isn't. The nxt day everyone was crowded around Phil- AKA Philippa. So thyat day Trisha Miles goes to Phil's house and they go up into " Daisy place," (Philippa's treehouse) and nobody knows about Daisy. So when they are walking towards it, Philippa alarmed Daisy by TALKING REALLY LOUD!!!! They go in it. Emptey. No Daisy! That's pretty good. Then after Philippa acting kind of weird Trisha realizes "Phil" is hiding something and its just a silly trick making her like Philippa. Then Trisha finds a box. The box has the last wish in it. Then she tries to open it. Philippa didn't see her take it, but after she left it was gone. She'd taken it! So at school there is a talent show and Philippa knows and is really good at magic so she wants to do magic for the talent show but she is too scared and shy. So she was thinking of wishing for more confidence so she could enter the talent show. It was too late because she was already signed up. She was scared but she still did it. Then 1 minute before it was her turn, Daisy cared this much to go back to the fairy land and beg for help. She said if they had to, they could fire her but still give Philippa a wish. That didn't happen. She got a wish for Philippa and canceld Trisha's wish.. Daisy gave Philippa her wish.

3. To have everything back the way it was before she made the other wishes.
Before she made that wish her parents were not coming. After her wish they came in right in time. She was so happy. She asked for volrnteers and she picked her parents. She wanted to hug them but no right then. After that they announced the winner....... Philippa won!!!!!!!!! And that's how it ended.

P.S. Daisy had the same lifetime of the daisy that Philippa picked. So after the talent show she went away and started a new life as a butterfly. By: Hannah
