In the first hilarious Enchanted Files, Angus is a brownie. No, not the kind you eat! He s a tiny magical creature that loves to do chores. Angus has just inherited a new human girl, Alex. To say that Alex is messy would be an understatement. She s a total hurricane-like disaster and she likes it that way, thankyouverymuch! Living with each other isn t easy but Angus and Alex soon learn there is a curse that binds them. What s worse, it threatens Alex s family! Working together, Angus and Alex will set out to break the curse . . . without killing each other first . . . hopefully.

Not only did this book get a new cover, it got a new title. Yes those are the exact same book. I accidentally have both copies. The rest of the trilogy kept to o e word titles.

It #🤯 (blows my mind) when authors or publishers completely change the title of a book. These are the same books.

I love Coville but this threw me for a loop. I‘m sure it did to kids as well.

IheartYA Wow....that's kind of low. 5y
ReadingRover I agree. What‘s the point? 5y
mydearwatson I‘m not saying I agree, but maybe nobody knew what a brownie was? I‘m not sure kids hear that term much nowadays. 5y
LibrarianRyan @mydearwatson maybe not, but isn‘t it the authors job to describe the creature it‘s talking about. Especially in a kids book. I think it had to do with naming convention. There are 3 books in the series. The second also have one word titles. (edited) 5y
mydearwatson You‘re right, it is their job. I‘m just really wanting it to not be a money thing :-(. 5y

#curse.

I think this book might also be called Diary of a mad Fairy. I have a copy at work. I'll have to check.

Bruce Coville makes #magic dance for all the readers of his chapter books. Weather making beginning chapter book readers laugh, or taking middle readers on adventures he was sure to please. Speaking of pleasing, there were/are many please girls (and some guys) with Bowie's pants in Labyrinth. Which I am rewatching while catching up on this photo challenge. 😁. #septembowie

litmuggle Added some of these to are library holds. 6y

I've been eyeing this one for a couple months for my daughter. She chose it as a blind book match based only on three details.
The Scottish accent is slowing her down a bit so this might turn into a read aloud.

MrBook I like this cover! Old-school 😊👍🏻. 8y
