Faerie Wars

by Herbie Brennan

I found this book at home, as my daughter had read it and liked it. I also chose it because it was the #1 YALSA Teen's Top Ten Picks in 2003. It is the story of Henry Atherton, an English teenager whose parents are divorcing, and Prince Pyrgus Malvae, a Faerie of the Light. Their worlds collide when Pyrgus' father sends him out of his realm to ours to protect him from evil. Henry finds him in his employer's shed and a friendship develops between the three as they all try to get Pyrgus back home. With humor, action, science, and a little bit of romance, this is book 1 of a series.
