        A brand-new fairy godmother tests her skills on a group of children determined to catch her. The latest installment in the popular How To Catch series follows the protagonist as she leaves Fairy Godmother Land as a recent grad who's nervous about her first job ("I should know how to do this, / but all I feel is stress. / Chosen for these children, / I don't want to be a hot mess"). As she observes the children she's been tasked with helping, they spot her and decide to catch her for show and tell. Though they set several traps, including a "selfie with a unicorn" station, she evades capture, leaving behind a snapshot as a gift. Readers never see the fairy godmother's face until the final page reveals her photo--an effective way to keep kids wondering. While the moral of the story--trying new things is scary but worth it--is an important one, the plot is a bit thin. Sure, the fairy godmother "helps" the children by leaving them with a photo of her, but that feels almost like a happy accident; readers never find out why she was "chosen" for these children. Fans of the series who adore all things magical will enjoy this title, but those seeking an engaging tale should look elsewhere. The fairy godmother presents Black, while the children are racially diverse. Fairy fodder, nothing more. (Picture book. 4-6)
