Stratford author, R. J. Anderson creates an extraordinary new fantasy world in her Faery Rebels series. Hear all about it at the Turning Pages Literary Festival. This is part of the day long celebration of books for children and teens on May 15th. R.J. will be presenting at 5:30pm at The Musem (10 King St. W. Kitchener).
R. J. ANDERSON was born in Uganda, raised in Ontario, schooled in New Jersey, and has spent much of her life dreaming of entirely other worlds. At the age of twelve she borrowed her parents' electric typewriter and began hammering out her first fantasy novel. Now married and the mother of three young sons, Rebecca reads to her children the classic works of fantasy and science fiction that enlivened her own childhood, and she tries to bring a similar sense of humor, adventure, and timeless wonder to her own work. Faery Rebels: Spell Hunter is her first published novel. She lives in Stratford, Ontario. Visit the author on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/rj_andersonFaery Rebels: Spell Hunter 
A spirited debut novel of forgotten magic, forbidden friendship and a fierce faery—from a stellar new Canadian talent
Deep inside the great Oak lies a dying faery realm, bursting with secrets instead of magic. Long ago the faeries mysteriously lost their magic. Robbed of their powers, they have become selfish and dull-witted. Now their numbers are dwindling and their very survival is at stake.
Only one young faery—Knife—is determined to find out where her people's magic has gone and try to get it back. Unlike her sisters, Knife is fierce and independent. She's not afraid of anything—not the vicious crows, the strict Faery Queen, or the fascinating humans living nearby. But when Knife disobeys the Faery Queen and befriends a human named Paul, her quest becomes more dangerous than she realizes. Can Knife trust Paul to help, or has she brought the faeries even closer to the brink of destruction? Talented newcomer R. J. Anderson creates an extraordinary new fantasy world and weaves a gripping tale of lost magic, high adventure, and surprising friendship in which the fate of an entire realm rests on the shoulders of one brave faery rebel.

The adventure continues in Wayfarer
The faeries of the Oak are in danger of extinction, and their only hope for survival rests in fifteen-year-oldLinden. Armed with the last of her people's magic, she travels bravely into the modern human world. Along the way she makes a reluctant ally—a human boy named Timothy. Soon Linden and Timothy discover a danger much worse than the Oakenfolk's loss of magic . . . a potent evil that threatens to enslave faeries and humans alike. In a fevered, desperate chase across the country, Tim and Linden must risk their lives to seek an ancient power before it's too late to save everyone they love.
