The only hope for her brother is for Meghan to go with Robbie into the Nevernever and rescue her brother. Her brother has been taken by the fae, and replaced with an evil changeling. Instead, Robbie tells Meghan that nothing is as it seems. Although she finds nothing, there’s a strange sense that things just aren’t right.Ī series of horrible incidents at school and home culminate with Ethan seemingly turned into a monster. Meghan has looked under Ethan’s bed and in his closet before for imaginary monsters, and does so again.
Ethan begs Meghan to take him with her to school, afraid of what’s going to happen in their home. On the eve of her 16th birthday, things get strange. If not for her best friend Robbie Goodfell, Meghan would be completely alone. Things are worse at school, where she’s mocked by her fellow students for her hand-me-down clothes and rural home. With her mother’s attention focused on her little half-brother Ethan, Meghan feels isolated and ignored. While Meghan’s stepfather seems nice, he never seems to remember that Meghan exists. Her mother and Meghan move to the swamps of Louisiana, and she eventually marries a pig farmer. Meghan Chase’s life changed forever when she was six and during a fun day in the park, her father disappears. I’m glad I did because I loved this first entry in the author’s Iron Fae series, and am eager to read the rest. I don’t read a lot of young adult fiction, but when I discovered this received a nomination for best first book of 2010 in the Rita nominations, I decided to take a chance on it.
