Description

After humans win the faery wars in England, a half-human, half-faery child, scorned by both races, finds himself at the center of a web of intrigue and danger when he is stalked by a sinister faery.

Quick Summary

A half-human, half-faery boy who belongs to neither world must use his unique powers to survive when a sinister faery stalks him through the ruins of England after the faery wars. Kids will love the relentless chase scenes, the clever tricks the protagonist pulls using his mixed heritage to fool creatures from both worlds, and the bittersweet search for a place where he truly belongs. If your kid loves the magical mischief of Terry Pratchett's "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents" or the hidden world vibes of "Coraline," they'll be hooked from page one. Perfect for kids ages 9-12 in grades 4-7 who enjoy fantasy adventures with complex heroes and secret worlds.
