3 10 y separately published work icon How to Ditch Your Fairy Justine Larbalestier , ( trans. Kanoko Ōtomo with title さよなら駐車妖精(パーキング・フェアリー) ) Tokyo : Tokyo Sogensha , 2012 Z1577581 2009 single work novel young adult

'At New Avalon, everyone has a personal fairy - some less desirable than others: Charlie's fairy ensures that she always has a car park, which seems to pale in comparison to Fiorenze's all-the-boys-like-you fairy. [...]

'"Rochelle gets a clothes-shopping fairy and is always well attired; I get a parking fairy and always smell faintly of petrol. How fair is that?"

'For Charlie, having a parking fairy is worse than having nothing at all - especially since she's not old enough to drive. Enter The Plan: swap fairies with her archenemy! But Charlie discovers that you ought to be careful what you wish for - and she'll have to resort to extraordinary measures to set things right.'
