Boston College graduate Jen Calonita explores the origins of one of Disney’s beloved magic makers in the new young adult book, Fairy Godmother (Disney Hyperion, 2024). From the publisher: “Before she created carriages out of pumpkins, fashioned gowns out of thin air, and conjured one-of-a-kind glass slippers, Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother was a spirited sixteen-year-old named Renée Dubois.” Fairy Godmother is the first volume in a new Disney book series called The Enchanters. Calonita is a bestselling author of more than 30 books for young adult and middle grade readers. Her books have sold more than a million copies and have been translated into 15 languages. Her writing also has appeared in Glamour, Marie Claire, Self, and Entertainment Weekly.
