Summary
Aprilynne Pike: Wings
The fairy world is as mysterious, dangerous and interesting as the world of immortal vampires brought to life by Stephenie Meyer. Especially when it's so close to human. The young adult novel "Wings" by Aprilynne Pike clearly shows this.
"Wings" is the debut young adult novel by Aprilynne Pike, which opens an urban fantasy in a series of 4 books about fifteen-year-old Laurel.
Laurel lives with her hippie family on an old homestead in rural California. After moving, she starts attending public school for the first time, where she meets David, a handsome and sweet boy who understands her. One day, an unusual flower that looks like fairy wings grows on Laurel's back. That's when the search for her true identity begins: that of a fairy. Laurel discovers that she is a fairy and that she has been sent among human beings with a mission.
Events begin to unfold with incredible speed. Laurel meets Tamani, the first being who can tell her who she truly is and what her mission is. It is her duty to protect her parents and their inheritance because the old estate hides a great secret: a passage to the fairy world.
Lauel will have to find and maintain a balance between two completely different worlds: the human world in which he lives and the fairy kingdom, and prove his loyalty and belonging to both worlds, which will not be easy at all. And love, quite unexpectedly, awaits her in both worlds...
After it was published in the USA last year, the novel gained popularity among younger readers and reached the top of the New York Times bestseller list, and Publisher's Weekly named it the best-selling debut novel for young people last year. The copyright for the film was bought by Disney, and the main role in the film, which will soon be in theaters, was assigned to the popular Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana), while the producers of the teenage hit Twilight, Marty Bowen and Wick Godfrey, and Miley's mother, Tish Cyrus, united in the production of the film.
