YA
Boarding school student Ellie becomes involved with the patupaiarehe--fairies who inhabited New Zealand before humans. Even as she's falling in love with one of them, Ellie is caught up in an effort to thwart neighboring patupaiarehe who are plotting the destruction of half of New Zealand. Vivid imagery gives this story some compelling sequences, and its plot surprises make it a quick read.
