Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Ali and her middle school classmates are raising flocks of fairies to make their wishes come true. But growing a flock is harder than it sounds: the fairies eat only human hair, and the rules for dealing with them are confusing, misleading, and subject to change. As Ali and her friends struggle to earn their wishes, mistakes are made, spells go awry, and soon Ali is up against hundreds of two-inch-tall imps who have very big plans--to replace all the parents in town!--and the power to carry them out. Comedy and fantasy intertwine in this lively tale of intrigue, magic, and the power of hair.
Middle-schooler Ali's wish will come true if she follows all the rules to grow 100 evil fairies and feed them human hair, then find another child to do the same, but she is determined to find out what else the fairies are up to.
