Hazel and Ben are brother and sister, citizens of Fairfold where citizens and fairies and other magical creatures live side by side. Every year tourists flock to see the horned fairy boy who has been asleep since anyone can remember. Since they were young Hazel and Ben have been making stories of the horned boy in which they have been the valiant knights and the horned boy their prince. But, one day it all changes, somebody, somehow, has broken the glass coffin of the horned boy’s prison, and everything turns inside out. Fairies break decades of truces and mysterious things happen to everybody.
The book was riveting and completely pulled you in. It followed unknown folklore and it made it so kids of all ages could read it. All the characters where specially designed so they fit perfectly at the end for a perfect epilogue. The end left you yearning for more and the situations got crazier and crazier.
The book was amazing and a very memorable moment was the moment Hazel deciphered the cryptic clues and realization finally hit her.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.
Hi, I’m Adrienne, and I’ve been a Teen Librarian at HCPL since 2006. I started at Twin Hickory and moved to Libbie Mill in 2015. Come visit our Teen Room and check out all we have for you -- books, great study and hanging out space, free computers, free classes in 3D design & printing, Coding, Photoshop and soooo much more!
Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
