The Boy Who Lost Fairyland (Fairyland 4)

by Catherynne M . Valente (Author)

Synopsis

When a young troll named Hawthorn is stolen from Fairyland by the Golden Wind, he becomes a changeling - a human boy - in the strange city of Chicago, a place no less bizarre and magical than Fairyland when seen through trollish eyes.

Left with a human family, Hawthorn struggles with his troll nature and his changeling fate. But when he turns twelve, he stumbles upon a way back home, to a Fairyland much changed from the one he remembers.

Soon, Hawthorn finds himself at the centre of a changeling revolution - until he comes face to face with a beautiful young Scientiste with very big, very red assistant . . .

With The Boy Who Lost Fairyland, Catherynne M. Valente's wisdom and wit will continue to charm readers of all ages.

Every page of this book contains at least one stunning sentence . . . Readers may wish the words were food, so they could eat them up. And they may keep reading this series for just as long as people have been arguing about Oz. * Kirkus, starred review *
