About the book
A hidden academy that isn't on any map. Ordinary people training to deliver good luck. And a villain that runs the one thing everyone carries in their pocket: the feed.
At Godparents Preparatory Academy, assignments are handwritten to stay off the radar of a shadowy agency called D.A.R.K., the weather has opinions, and the angels are closer than anyone thinks. Fairy Godmother 101 is the first book in a series about gifts, choice and the quiet work of looking out for one another.
