How to Ditch Your Fairy is a young adult novel by Australian writer Justine Larbalestier.

The water polo star, Danders Anders (who seems to have very poor communication and does not understand no), virtually kidnaps her in his car to go to illegal gambling places and which drastically halts her attempt to remove the fairy.

And when the pulchritudinous new boy, Steffi, on whom she has a crush appears to fall for Fiorenze, Charlie gets drastic.

[2] Kirkus Reviews stated that "Fans of Larbalestier's award-winning Magic or Madness trilogy... might be put off initially by the glib tone, but this comic coming-of-age novel will entertain teen readers.

"[3] Publishers Weekly praised the book, saying that it was a "vividly imagined story will charm readers".
