Changeling

by Delia Sherman

Changeling Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Neef is a changeling, a human baby stolen by fairies and replaced with one of their own. She lives in "New York Between," a parallel Manhattan of elves, fairies, demons, and mythological spirits. Neef has always been protected by her (rat) nursemaid,Astris, until she winds up breaking Fairy Law. Now, unless she can meet the challenge of the Lady of Central Park, she'll be sacrificed to the bloodthirsty Wild Hunt. But Neef is a native New Yorker, streetwise and sharp, and she's determined to beat the rap. The acclaimed Delia Sherman's first novel for younger readers turns both Manhattan and storytelling inside out!

Review:

"[Sherman] has created believable parallels, both literal and metaphorical, between the mortal and the enchanted worlds and has created for her readers a fascinating alternate world in which to envision the New York that seems so mysterious yet enchanting to outsiders and insiders alike." Children's Literature

Review:

"Readers will love the feisty, irrepressibly optimistic Neef, delight in the sheer cleverness of the story, and never look at New York in the same way again." School Library Journal

Review:

"I love it: contemporary fantasy with plenty of urban hipness and a girl hero who thinks on her feet!" Tamora Pierce
