Review
Liza didn’t witness the war between the humans and the Faeries, but she lives with the after effects.
In Franklin Falls, a town devastated like all the others during the war, the townspeople are fearful of magic. Since the war and all the death caused by the Faeries, they fell nothing good can come from it.
When Liza’s baby sister was born with eyes as silver as moonlight and faerie-pale hair as clear as glass, her father did what was expected. He took her up on a hillside and abandoned her. He said, “If the faerie folk want her, let them take her.” Liza slipped out of the house later that night in an attempt to save her sister, but it was too late - the animals got there first.
Three weeks after losing her sister, Liza’s life changes forever. Strange visions keep popping into her head. The visions scare her and lead her to believe she has magic inside of her just like her sister did. Liza runs from everything she’s known. She runs away from Franklin Falls and into the woods she’s been warned against all her life. Her only companions are her cat and a boy named Matthew - who has secrets of his own.
Together they make their way through dangerous terrain hoping to find answers to the many questions they have. What they find out leaves them questioning everything they’ve been taught.
BONES OF FAERIE is a fast-paced story. As a reader, it is easy to get attached to the characters. Liza’s visions are marked by italics for easy identification throughout the story and the language is clean which makes this appropriate for even young fantasy fans.
