Four of Barron's recently-published titles that quickly became hits among younger readers are now available as a four-volume boxed set. Airy Fairy is the clumsiest, messiest, and funniest young fairy at the Academy for Good Fairies. To make matters worse, her life is further complicated by a sneaky fellow student, Scary Fairy, who constantly tries to get her in trouble. Airy Fairy's hilarious boarding-school misadventures are enhanced with comical line illustrations that perfectly capture every story's zany atmosphere. Each book is divided into chapters, just like an adult's novel. The four titles that make up this entertaining set are: Magic Mess!, Magic Mischief!, Magic Mix Up!, and Magic Muddle!

Margaret Ryan is the author of many humorous books for children, including six Airy Fairy titles, all available in North America from Barron's. Previously, she taught school in her native Scotland, where she still lives. She is married and the mother of two grown children.
