Popular author talks about getting girls to read
Young girls can't wait to get hold of the latest book in the popular series, Fairy Godmother Academy, by Jan Bozarth. Sumi's Book is the fifth book in the series for young readers.
Sumi's Book is centered around girl-powered adventure filled with danger and magic. It's perfect for girls who have outgrown the American Girls books and Disney Fairies.
