Wings by Aprilynne Pike















What would you do if one morning you found a flower blossom in the form of wings on your back?

In the novel Wings by Aprilynne Pike, this phenomenon happens to Laurel, and she realizes that she is not human.

With her new identity, Laurel must defeat the trolls, who could destroy the fairy world. This extraordinary story gives a new meaning to the word 'fairy tale.' It is a refreshing read because the author does not follow the original ideas of fairies. The creatures are life-sized with flower wings instead of the traditional butterfly shape. This story is spiced up with a love triangle which has a surprising ending. Although the completion of the novel does not completely satisfy the reader, it leaves room for a very anticipated sequel.
