Yes, my first thought was of the Ramona books by Beverly Cleary. I had the same complaint about readability of the title, but I see the second image took care of that. So now the clarity is better. I still get cute-ish from it. I definitely don't get gritty fantasy. Maybe it's the expression on the pixie's face that gives me "cute teen fantasy." The big eyes and the sort-of smile give me that impression. I think narrowed eyes and playing up the pixie-ish features (ears and such) may give a bit more grittiness?
