Ella knows something most kids don't know about their mothers. Her mummy can become a fairy by stamping three times, clapping her hands, wiggling her bottom, and saying "Marshmallow." Then poof, Mummy Fairy appears with real magic powers. But magic doesn't always work the way it should. When spells go sideways, Ella steps in to help fix the mess. In this fourth adventure, magical coloring pencils redecorate their entire kitchen in unexpected ways. A school trip takes a dramatic turn when Ella and Mummy Fairy catch an actual robber. Most amazing of all, they discover real mermaids and swim alongside them in the deep blue water. Ella loves having a fairy for a mother, even when the magic creates more problems than it solves. Their secret bond makes every ordinary day feel like an adventure waiting to happen.
