Chronicles of Faerie series.
This fourth series installment finds thirteen-year-old Dana stranded in Canada, her connection to the Utopian Faerie world severed. Determined to reconnect, Dana partners with a host of mystical characters who accompany her on a perilous journey across the country. This fantastical pastiche of cultural myths effectively presents Dana's challenges in facing both adolescence and her enchanted heritage.

Chronicles of Faerie series.
Dana is offered one wish if she can deliver a message to a mystical king. Determined to succeed and be reunited with her absent mother, Dana sets out with only the forest creatures' guidance. Although it's the third in a series, this beautiful tapestry of Irish folklore stands alone. An author's note on Irish language is included. Glos.

YA
Chronicles of Faerie series.
The King of Faerie kidnaps Irish teen Findabhair to be his bride, and her American cousin Gwen chases the new royal couple across a contemporary Ireland where new technology and ancient beliefs hold equal sway. Well-rendered descriptions of green rural landscapes, a generous helping of Gaelic language and legends, and heartfelt romances for both cousins make this a crowd-pleasing tale.
