something. If no other fairy school would accept her, then surely that meant no more school! That meant sleeping in. It meant skateboarding all day. It meant no homework and no dumb school uniform. The more Elly thought about it, the more being expelled from Mossy Blossom Academy seemed like a good idea. A plan started to form in her head.
    Elly put on her saddest face.
    â€˜You’re right,’ she sighed. ‘I’m a terrible student and I probably won’t get any better.’
    â€˜It sounds like you don’t want to stay, Elly,’ frowned Madame Silverwings. Her desk started to rise.
    â€˜Oh I really do,’ said Elly hastily. ‘I love Mossy Blossom.’
    â€˜Good,’ said Madame Silverwings as the desk returned to the ground, ‘because I’ve decided to give you a week’s trial. If you make it through the next five days without making any mistakes I’ll let you stay.’
    â€˜No mistakes at all?’ asked Elly.
    â€˜None,’ said Madame Silverwings firmly. ‘If you make even one you’ll have to leave Mossy Blossom forever.’
    Elly was pleased. Her plan was working already. It would be dead easy to make a mistake in a week. After all, she made mistakes every day without even trying! Then she would be free of fairy school forever.
    Madame Silverwings, of course, had no idea what Elly was plotting.
    â€˜You will have to be on your best behaviour,’ she warned. ‘No arriving late, no skateboarding and definitely no more turning teachers purple.’
    Elly nodded. ‘I’ll be perfect,’ she promised. Perfectly terrible, she thought silently to herself.

Chapter Five
    T he easiest way to be expelled, Elly decided, was to ride her skateboard around. Skateboards were strictly forbidden at school and it wouldn’t be long before someone caught her. But the next time she pulled her board out of her bag, all the wheels promptly fell off. Elly picked them up. They were completely worn out. This was bad news. Rainbow wheels were very expensive and very hard to come by. Her skateboard might be out of action for ages.
    So that afternoon Elly had to catch the Fairy Flock home and it was terrible. Someone’s wand kept jabbing into her back, and wings kept tickling her nose and making her sneeze. Elly was very relieved when she finally arrived at her stop. She quickly removed her cloud coat and tucked her wings out of view.
    Elly was very happy to finally be home today. She looked around her as she walked up towards her house. Raspberry Drive is very pretty, she thought to herself, but also very dull . As far as Elly could tell, there were no other fairies living on her street.

    How can you pick a fairy’s house? It’s easy,
once you know what to look out for:
    1. The garden is always green, no matter what the weather has been like.

    2. All the flowers grow to exactly the same height.

    3. The house often has a fancy doorknob.

    4. The chimneys blow out multi-coloured smoke.

    5. Fairy houses always seem to look a bit different each time you look at them, although it’s hard to say why.
    There were hardly any human kids living in Elly’s street either, until a family moved in to the empty house next door to the Knottleweed-Eversprightlys. Elly had seen a boy in the backyard and she’d glimpsed a girl gazing out one of the windows who looked about her own age. Fairies were allowed to befriend humans so long as they never revealed their real identities. In fact, these friendships were actually encouraged, as it helped fairies discover more about humans. But there was no way Elly was going to make friends with one. She hated humans.
    As far as she could see, fairies were expected to be servants to humans – granting their wishes, fixing up their dumb mistakes. What did fairies get in return? Nothing! Elly didn’t see why she should be expected to help them out. Half the humans didn’t even believe in
