: Clemency Pogue: Fairy Killer
I first saw this book several months ago, but I was so behind on my reading that I put it back before I even started. Very sad, especially now that I know how awesome this book is! This series seems to be starting off somewhat like the Artemis Fowl series -- a human kid who doesn't necessarily believe in fairies has to help fix something she messed up in the fairy world. Namely, for Clemency Pogue, the fact that she killed a bunch of fairies using a deadly phrase she learned from Peter Pan. It wasn't necessarily her fault, since she was being attacked (for no reason) by a particularly vicious fairy, but she killed six other fairies in her attempt to kill just the one. In order to bring back the fairies, she has to figure out their names (very Rumpelstiltskin) and proclaim that she does believe in them. One fairy at a time, she has to travel around the world to bring them back to life -- or not. To learn more about Clemency Pogue and her hobgoblin friend, Chaphesmeeso, and to find out whether she can reverse the damage she's done, you'll need to read this book. (Coming soon, you can also find my review of the next in the series -- Clemency Pogue: The Hobgoblin Proxy by J.T. Petty.)
Happy Reading!
