Margaret K. McElderry Books.
Sixteen year old Kaye is constantly traveling with her mother's rock band. When she meets Roiben, a faerie knight of the Unseelie Court, she becomes entangled between two faerie courts. Her childhood friends, the Solitary Fey, inform her that she in fact is one too and that every seven years the Unseelie Court makes a human sacrifice. The Solitary Fey ask Kaye for help she gets help from her Fey and human friends to trick the Queen of Unseelie, Nichevin.
This book is good for older kids around 14-17 years old. I feel it will appeal to readers who like faerie tales or fantasy. It contains adult issues like drinking, smoking, stealing, and foul language.
Havighusrt says "adolescents have to adapt to their physical bodies. Black definitely demonstrates this with Kaye. She has always seen herself as a human although she could communicate with faeries since her childhood. At sixteen years, she learns that she, herself, is a Fey and she has to adapt. She finally finds a place between worlds where she feels comfortable.
