Stargirl Academy: Lily’s Shimmering Spell by Vivian French is a whimsical and magical adventure set at a school in the clouds, where young girls are trained to become modern-day fairy godmothers.
The story follows Lily and her friends—Ava, Madison, Sophie, Emma, Olivia, and the more challenging Melody and Jackson—who are selected by Fairy Mary McBee to learn the art of spellcasting. At Stargirl Academy, the girls are taught to perform spells that shimmer, shine, sparkle, and twinkle, using their magic to help others and solve problems.
The girls embark on their first mission led by Ava, who has a mischievous plan to teach Lily’s unpleasant great aunt, Great Aunt Acidity, a lesson. Using a shimmering spell and a supernatural display with floating crockery and a teapot’s message, they successfully frighten Aunt Acidity into changing her ways. With this mission completed, the girls earn their first star, bringing them closer to becoming full-fledged stargirls!
The book is filled with fun, friendship, and magic as the girls work together to complete their missions and learn valuable lessons along the way.
