I loved this book! I've heard if it sells enough copies she can publish the sequel, which I would LOVE to read, even though this novel is awesome on its own. :)I would rate this book for ages 12 and up- it is exactly my kind of story: just enough fantasy to make me forget I'm sitting in a house I've been cleaning all day, and just enough reality to make me care about the characters. I've read a lot of fantasy lately, and have been able to pick out copy-cat parts in other books, right and left. I was so impressed by the originality and suprising depth of this story. If you rolled your eyes at the vampire novels, but read them anyway because you love the genre, you'll be absolutley delighted by this book. Everything the vampires were missing- like plausible character motivation- is present in this one. This is a cute story of a nine year old girl and her mother that go to visit her Grandmother in Arizona while her dad Kevin is deployed. (This is Kaitlin's fathers mother so there is a lot that her mother Megan does not know about her)It intertwines the story of their visit with the fairytale story of her grandmothers true origins. Kaitlin cannot get enough of her grandmothers story of fairy blood running through her veins, the count diavolo, her great grandmothers fairy woes. Kaitlin's mother Megan doubts grandma Viola at first and even takes her to the doctor to question her sanity but cant resist asking to hear more of the story.
What do You think about My Fairy Grandmother (2009)?
Who knew fairies were persecuted out of existence? This is an interesting story.
