Title: Tough Characters
Product review: Tough main character.Tough fairies.Tough friends.There is a lot of toughness in this book. For the main character Kaye, life has not been easy. Following her mother around as she sings with one rock band after another, mothering her mother so they can survive, and coming up with her own rules of shoplifting (with moral values of their own) so that she can live with herself as she gets through her nomadic life are all ways Kay has learned to cope. Finding out she's really a changling, a green pixie at that, didn't seem such a stretch.The fairies of this book aren't cute little Disney creations. They are ruthless and violent, but they are not unfeeling. She discovers this through her old childhood fairy friends, who nobody believes are real. She also discovers another fairy, one who seems to reciprocate her feelings for him.I listened to this book on CD and felt that Kate Rudd supplied the perfect teen voice to share Holly Black's book. Looking forward to reading/listening to more.
