Grade 8 UpOn her 16th birthday, Meghan Chase's four-year-old half brother is
exchanged for a changeling and she discovers that her best friend, Robbie, is
actually Robin Greenfellow, aka Puck, from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's
Dream. He is her guardian and will lead her into the faery world to rescue
her brother. Once there, Meghan learns that she is a princess, daughter of
Oberon, king of the Seelie Court. With a mortal mother and a faery king for a
father, she is very powerful, and Oberon and Queen Mab, queen of the Unseelie
Court, are both fighting to keep her. With help from Puck and a talking cat,
Meghan sneaks into the Unseelie Court to rescue Ethan, only to discover that
he is held captive by more powerful forces that could destroy the entire fey
world. Meghan is a likable heroine and her quest is fraught with danger and
adventure. The action never stops, and Meghan's romance with Ash, the handsome
prince of the Unseelie Court, provides some romance that is sure to continue
in the sequel. Faery books are in high demand now, and this is one of the
better ones. Expect it to be popular with teens who liked Melissa Marr's
