Goodreads Synopsis:

Prepare to enter the world of the Unfairies! A hilarious new full-colour graphic novel series from breakout talent Huw Aaron, where the epic adventure of Amulet meets the super silly humour of Bunny VS Monkey and Dog Man . . . all on the scale of The Borrowers . . .
Some stories will tell you fairies are sweet, kind, magical creatures. Well, those stories are WRONG.
It’s time everyone knew the fairies are sneaky, violent and about as magical as slugs.
Join our RECKLESS, FEARLESS and, well, CLUELESS, hero Pip on a breakneck adventure among the warring unfairy tribes of The Garden.

Expect sinister plots, dubious ancient prophecies, thrilling centipede chases, a bit of bug-bum honey . . . and a hero who doesn’t give two hoots about anything.

Review:

This is a fun graphic novel about a silly fairy who is always getting in trouble. Pip is clueless about the tasks he’s given and how his actions affect others. He just wants to have a party. There were a number of funny parts that I think young readers will love!

Unfairies is a great middle grade graphic novel!

Thank you Penguin Teen Canada for providing a copy of this book!
