The Fairy Rebel by Lynne Reid Banks


Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy; Magic, Fairy
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Everyone knows grown-ups never get to see fairies -- they don't even believe in them. But one day Jan, a grown-up, was sitting in her garden feeling sad when suddenly discovered that fairies can be very real -- and quite extraordinary... Tiki knew she'd be taking a terrible chance if she defied the Fairy Queen and used her power to help a human, but Jan was crying because she wanted so much to have a baby. Tiki, who was the kind of fairy who didn't always obey her queen, just had to do something... Soon, Jan's dream comes true, and she and her husband have a wonderful little baby girl. But Tiki has angered the queen and now she and her human friends are up against the dark and chilling fury of a leader who will not hesitate to unleash her most terrifying powers against them.

This story is actually more for Middle Grade, but it is one of those that you can’t help but to love. Jan believes that she will not be able to have a child. Then one day in her garden she meets Tiki. The two become friends and Tiki helps Jan so that she can have a baby. This is only the beginning of the story. I don’t want to give too much away so I won’t go say any more. It’s a great mother daughter story, with lots of magic. I grew up with this book and read it so many times that my copy was destroyed. I love the story if you hadn’t guessed. To this day I still love to pick it up from time to time.
