One of those cosy little stories about modernised fairy godmothers whose spells keep going wrong with ultimately happy consequences. Griselda is an uncommonly youthful member of the sorority: she wears disintegrating jeans, carries an electronic watch and a multi-coloured mouse, and directs her shambolic magic through disco dancing. Her adventures are rhythmically organised into chapters with repetitive introductions. A cheerful and accessible book for newly independent readers.

Reviewed in BfK No. 81 (July 1993) by George Hunt (GH)
