Shayla Witherwood is half-faerie, half-human. For most of her
life, Shayla has been raised and educated by her human grandparents. Once
Shayla turns sixteen and her grandfather passes away, her grandmother decides
that Shayla is ready to face the real world by entering high school. Shayla is
able to make friends quickly and begins living a semi-normal life, if she can
keep her faerie powers under control. But when a mysterious new girl shows up at school, Shayla's human and faerie worlds come crashing together.
Torero weaves together a witty, wholesome, and
heart-felt story in Shayla Witherwood. Even though Shayla has not lived a
“normal” lifestyle, readers can still identify with Shayla’s character as she faces many firsts in her life: making new friends, entering a new school,
dealing with teachers, or having a crush. Like the Harry Potter series, this story is another clever re-imagining of many classic magical elements: fairies, witches, wizards, etc. Shayla Witherwood: A Half-Faerie Tale is a fun read for ages
twelve and up.
