What a great way to introduce children to bullying. Set in a different time period when children and adults who were different, were hidden. Cursed by the fairies and all around them. This is Wynn's story and also her brother Elric. Wynn is called a changeling, you are never told what exactly is wrong with her, but she is slow to learn and has trouble keeping up. So when Wynn's mother dies Elric made a promise to keep her hidden and that is what he does. It means leaving the village he grew up in and finding a new home for Wynn. The road they travel is really rough and you keep rooting for Wynn and Elric to find their way. Elric pretty hard on Wynn but with the help of an unexpected encounter with a small man Elric learns to appreciate his sister.
But a fairy song their mother sang to them keeps Wynn wanting to find them. Elric isn't so sure. Will this be their only hope. A great read all will love. Ages 8-12 $16.99 Katherine Tegen Books
