Just like the rating says, it was just ok. Far more for young teenage girls (like sixth and seventh grade). Morgan, who thinks she is just average and boring makes a wish and is surprised when a modern fairy comes to help her out--although the fairy is still in training and isn't that great.

Cute, BUT... Didn't have the same charm as the sequel, unfortunately. I still liked it enough to finish it, but I wasn't giggling while reading it, like I had been with A Fairy's Guide to Understanding Humans. (If I had read this one first, I wouldn't have ever read the sequel. It wasn't that good.)
I felt that the characters were better developed in Fairy's Guide, and I didn't feel like I got a lot of background in this book. Most of the characters you meet in Mid-Semester don't exist in the next book. In fact, it's a nearly-identical plot line, just with a different cast. That was disappointing to me.
So: Skip this one and move straight on to the glory that is A Fairy's Guide to Understanding Humans.

I read this book in 5th grade and we had to do a commercial instead of a book report. So I was flipping through my Elementary School stuff and I found the commercial and remembered the book. I don't really remember anything about it, though.

A cute, slightly fluffy read. The main character is a 7th grade girl, but I would recommend this book to 9- to 11-year-old girls.
