Supernormal Sleuthing Service series.
Illustrated by
Glenn Thomas.
When Stephen's father takes over his grandmother's job as chef at a NYC hotel serving an elite clientele of various "supernormals," Stephen learns he is part-fae. Some of his snooty mythical neighbors aren't exactly thrilled with him, and Stephen must clear his name when an important magical artifact goes missing. This entertaining series-starter's overly familiar premise and themes are nevertheless successfully executed.
