A subversive story about fairies with a difference! Although Flax Lilykicker attends the Academy of Sweetness she is not cut out for life there. Not at all! While earning the Seal of Sweetness is the ambition of most of her classmates, for Flax the Badge of Badness is the trophy of choice. Will Flax’s dastardly plan be good enough to do so?
If Flax can earn a Badge of Badness, she will be able to go to the school for bad fairies. Together with her new friend the dog-fae, Flax hatches a plan that’s badder than bad. But will it all work out bad in the end?
Tiffany Mandrake lives in a cosy, creepy cottage in the grounds of Hag's Abademy, the place where bad fairies go to study badness. She is also known as Sally Odgers, the author of best-selling titles for children such as the Jack Russell: Dog Detective series.
