Velvet Ball can’t believe the kids at her new school call her a pixie just because she’s bald, and when Rory O’Leary pulls her hat off and calls her baldy in front of her classmates, Velvet’s had enough. She stamps on his foot and escapes into the forest.While picking wildflowers, Velvet stumbles upon a fairy caught in the bow of a tree. The fairy promises to grant Velvet a wish if she saves her and proclaims to be Roseberry — Fairy of Crabtree Forest. Velvet doesn’t believe in magic, but she rescues the so-called fairy anyway. And just like she thought, her wish of getting her hair back doesn’t work. Unable to explain why she has no magic, the fairy tries to fly away, but instead she crashes to the ground. Velvet feels sorry for the helpless little sprite and decides to hide her in her bedroom. But the fairy isn’t at all endearing—she’s rude, demanding, bad-mannered and spoilt, and she acts like a princess and expects to be waited on.Velvet figures Roseberry doesn’t know how to use her powers because she didn’t pay attention in Magic School. But Rosebery’s not interested in learning ‒ she prefers dancing around the bedroom and getting up to mischief. When the fairy goes too far, Velvet threatens to take her back to the woods, though she doesn’t mean it, and when Roseberry gets kidnapped by Rory O'Leary and his gang, Velvet has to find a way to save her before the bullies discover that she's a fairy and not a doll.

Polly and Gertie can't wait to go to the singing festival to compete with other schools. After all, they're going to the Opera House. And that means they'll be famous. When Miss Badger bans Polly from the choir for singing out of tune, Gertie refuses to go to the festival without her best friend. The headmistress, Mrs Godbolt, can't have that because Gertie is the best singer in the whole school. Polly comes up with a brilliant idea. She says she's a great actress and could easily mime instead of singing. But Miss Badger is horrified. She tells the headmistress that Polly is a walking disaster. After all, she hung her wet underpants on the windowsill to dry and stunk out the classroom. And if they let her go to the Opera House, she’d only wee-wee on the stage and embarrass the whole school. Well, no way is Polly letting that meanie teacher stop her from going to the festival. How else can she become famous? And she's not leaving Mange behind either. After all, Great Aunt Mabel is back and she doesn't like dogs. She'd only stick him in the shed with the chook poo and feed him fish heads for dinner.
