Wings

Wings, Aprilynne Pike

Laurel has moved to Crescent City with her parents and has started her first year of main stream school.  She has been homeschooled the first fifteen years of her life.  At school she meets David, a very nice young boy who is very nice to her.  Midway through the fall, Laurel has some strange stuff happen and ends up discovering she's a faerie, and not human at all, but a plant.  And that there are trolls out there that want to own the land her old house is on, and trolls are bad and kill faeries.  She meets Tamani, a faerie sentry that protects her old house, and who is also very attractive and who is also in love with her.

This was a quick read.  Took no time at all, and it was pleasant.  Laurel is cute and David and Tam are fun.  Faerie background bores the living daylights out of me.  Faeries hold very little interest to me.  But, this was easy to get through so it must not have been that bad.  I also picked up the second one (like I've said before - all YA is a triology now) from the library so ... if you're looking for a quick fun, YA ... Wings is a good bet.

I'm always up to looking at what the kids are reading.
