If the cover of The Replacement doesn't grab you immediately, I can only assume that you hate fun. This is a tale of coming-of-age, finding where you belong, and figuring out how to switch a fake baby for a real one under the nose of one seriously screwed-up fairy queen. Mackie, the hero of the tale, is a changeling. His real family are up to no good, and he's about to be sucked into some Very Bad Doings indeed. I loved that this take on old fairy mythology uses modern problems as an excuse for a town to ignore the Strange Happenings™ that guarantee their continued prosperity. This is the perfect book to read on those cold, winter-y October nights. The creeping (and creepy) atmosphere never lets up, and there's a wicked sense of humor throughout. Read it, love it, and recommend it-just don't go hanging scissors over cribs once you've finished.
