No Ordinary Fairy Tale The last time Timothy broke a rule, he got suspended. But when he defies the faery empress, it might well get him killed. Timothy Sinclair doesn't believe in faeries - after all the hardships he's suffered since his missionary parents sent him away to boarding school, he's not even sure he still believes in God. But when a tiny winged girl named Linden bursts into his life and begs him to help save her people, the skeptical Timothy finds himself drawn into a struggle against a potent evil that threatens humans and faeries alike. With a deadly pair of hunters on their trail, Timothy and Linden flee across country, drawn by the legend of a white stone that could be the faeries' salvation. But the dangers that await them test their courage and resolve to the limit, threatening to tear their unlikely partnership apart. And when it comes down to one last desperate battle, they and all the people they love will be doomed unless Linden and Timothy can find the faith to overcome... Book two of the No Ordinary Fairy Tale series. Previously published in the US under the title Wayfarer.

From School Library Journal Gr 6-9–Linden is a teenager living in a magical Oak with her fellow faeries. Their aging queen is the only one left with any magic to protect them from dangerous predators. Linden was raised by Peri, a faery-turned-human, and has a unique knowledge of the human world, making her the Oakenfolk's only hope for survival when their queen dies. Now she must navigate the outside world to save the Oakenfolk. Ignorant of the existence of faeries and magic, 15-year-old Timothy is homesick for Uganda where he grew up with missionary parents. He is staying with his cousin Paul and his wife, Peri, at Oakenwyld, the site of the magical Oak, after being suspended from his London boarding school. When he receives a less-than-warm welcome, Timothy decides to run away–right into the clutches of some evil faeries bent on stealing his musical gift. Linden pops out of his backpack just in time to rescue him. Now Timothy and Linden are being hunted by the fierce faeries under the reign of the evil empress and their only hope is finding the reclusive Children of Rhys, strong and magical faeries fabled to hold the key to freeing not only Linden's Oakenfolk but all the enslaved faeries as well. This albeit complicated premise comes together almost seamlessly in Anderson's tale; an intricate faery world colliding with an ordinary boy's struggle makes for a cutthroat quest adventure. Awkwardly out of place Christian doctrine may distract some readers, but, all in all, this is an enjoyable story that will appeal to fantasy fans.Tara Kehoe, Plainsboro Public Library, NJ© Copyright 2010.

From Booklist In this second installment in the Faery Rebels series, the Oak's faeries are dying out, and 15-year-old faery Linden embarks on a survival quest that takes her into the human world, including London and Wales, where she meets 15-year-old Timothy, the son of missionaries. Linden and Timothy tell their stories in alternating narratives, and their individual issues add substance and suspense to occasionally predictable story lines. Although the book's religious elements, including Timothy's questions about his Christian faith, may not resonate with everyone, most readers will appreciate the characters' growing understanding of personal responsibility and the importance of compassion. Grades 7-10. --Shelle Rosenfeld
Review "An exciting tale, told with verve and skill. ... The warmth and humour between Timothy and Linden makes the book outstanding." --The Times (of London)“Wayfarer is a charming tale of lore, faith, and magic.” (Aprilynne Pike, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Wings)“R.J. Anderson creates a beautifully-written world combined with a thrilling, addicting read.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA))PRAISE FOR SPELL HUNTER:“Anderson crafts lore–true characters in our modern world. I was overjoyed to find this gem.” (Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author of Wicked Lovely)“This is the best kind of fantasy: a book that makes fairies wonderfully real and maybe even living in our own backyards.” (Sarah Prineas, author of The Magic Thief)“Pure pleasure.... A particularly charming, well-drawn romantic thriller. Highly recommended.” (The Times London)“Anderson is a gifted writer with a sure touch for both characterization and plot, and Knife is an absolutely fantastic protagonist - fiercely independent and curious. This book is a page-turning romp.” (Romantic Times)“A gripping and involving story.” (School Library Journal)

By Larissa Fourteen years ago Knife left the Oak in search of the truth, she became a foster mother to a newly hatched faery and she was sent to live with Paul as human among humans. However, she continues as the Oak's defender and protector while its inhabitants continue to live without magic and their numbers continue to dwindle. For although Knife had found the truth she did not succeeded in returning magic to the Oak.Queen Amaryllis was dying, after 350 years she had lived a full life and now the end was near. But before she passes she has some unfinished business, to name a successor and to appoint an occupation to the youngest faery of the Oak, Linden. But at only fourteen years Linden is yet too young to take up the task appointed her, and yet if nothing is done soon it will all be too late.On a chance opportunity Linden risks all, leaving the safety of the Oak in search of other faeries and the possibility that they might find a way to restore their magic. But the world outside the Oak is vast and full of dangers, where friends offer only their backs enemies offer salvation, albeit at a price. And all hopes rest on the shoulders of the youngest of their kind, naive and ill-equipped for such a task, with only her strong will and pure spirit to guide her, and a little glamour too.Rebel faeries are gathering as an old enemy emerges and Linden has walked right into the middle of trouble. But one determined little faery will have a great and powerful impact as strength and friendship are woven together in a tale where only faith will see the conclusion a happy one. A gorgeously imagined story that enchants and delights leaving you wanting more.

Appealling adventure with believable teens- By mary Like Page (one book at a time) above, I actually liked "Wayfarer" even better than "Spell Hunter", and am also struggling to articulate why. Part of it is the main characters. Linden - brave, honest, gentle, loyal and determined - is a refreshing character; her salient quality is her integrity. She works very well with the human boy, Timothy, who is confused, homesick, angry and questioning - but also musically gifted, brave and capable of considerable loyalty. I liked that these young people were believably, convincingly young.(Timothy, in particular, does a couple of harebrained things - and kids doing harebrained things for what seems to them to be good reason definitely advances the action!)Other things I loved in this sequel:1. Paul and Knife do reappear, and I like these characters even better as adults.2. When Linden and Timothy make their way to London, they encounter real menace.3. This book has a grittier, more urban feel to it than "Spell Hunter", and may well appeal to fans of Sarah Rees Brennan's "Demon's Lexicon".4.A couple of ambiguous characters, in particular Rob, who initially seemed a servant of the evil empress. I liked Rob and finished the book quite worried for him (because of the choices he had made) and Linden (because she seemed interested in him.)The themes of faith and trust also arose quite naturally from the action. I did wonder at the bad guys' constantly gathering in disused churches, and, though I liked and believed in the old couple the kids encounter, it seemed slightly heavy-handed that Timothy got to have a discussion on faith and doubt with an elder from his own church in the midst of his quest. Not that things like this don't happen, of course! But the role faith and right action played in the quest for the Children of Rhys was more resonant, for me. I also had a slight problem with the character of Bluebell - why had she become so ambitious? Was she always this way? And I would still like a map of the Oak and the Oakenwyld!But I sympathized with Timothy most of the time, loved and admired Linden, and want to know what will happen to them next, as all-out war seems to be menacing them and their friends. I'm looking forward to the sequel!This one was definitely 4 1/2 stars. If you like faeries, magic and quests, you will love R. J. Anderson's series.

Linden, who was an infant in the first book, is ready to take on an adult role in the Oakenwyld. But she faces a dying world. Her queen, the only faery in the Oak with magic, is dying, and along with her, the glimpse that keeps predators from knowing that a colony of faeries lives inside.Linden receives a portion of the queen's magic and the assignment to find other faeries who can restore the magic to the dwindling and endangered group.Meanwhile, a new human moves into the big house--Paul's young nephew Timothy, the son of missionaries who is experiencing a crisis of faith. In days, feeling confused, betrayed and alone, Timothy strikes out on his own.Except unbeknown to him, Linden goes along. And so their adventures begin. Both their lives and the lives of ones they love are at risk unless they team up to find help.Strengths: First, the plot was captivating. Complications naturally ratcheted the tension higher, and the stakes became greater. One problem naturally grew out of an effort to solve a previous problem, one choice naturally let to a greater predicament. And the story took off.Danger, intrigue, surprise. These are the hallmarks of a great plot. But this story was more. It also had great characters--believable, troubled, courageous, ultimately sacrificial. They became admirable and I wanted so very much to see them succeed.And still there was more. Wayfarer addresses some deep issues, perhaps the central most being the need to take a risk on behalf of others rather than to seek a selfishly safe haven for a few like-minded folk (or faeries).Weakness: A few reviewers said they liked Faery Rebels: Spell Hunter a bit more than Wayfarer. I didn't feel that way. I loved them equally.If I had to give a criticism, I'd say this one started a little slow. I was shocked to be in the point of view of a human boy in the first chapter (I blame this on the girlie-girl cover). I also thought he was an unreliable narrator because he found fault with the characters I loved in the first book. So it took me a little while to warm up to Timothy.The turning point for me was when Linden did the first heroic deed. Because I wanted her to succeed, I also wanted Timothy to succeed, and I was hooked.Recommendation: I consider this one a must read for fantasy lovers. I give the book my highest recommendation to anyone, young or old, male or female, who loves a good story.
