15-year-old Tamisin, the main character of Wings: A Fairy Tale, by E. D. Baker, has always been different, but she finds out that she is half fairy when she grows wings and travels to the land of the fey with friend and half goblin Jak.What she does not know, at first, is that Jak was actually sent to the human world to kidnap her. Jak's uncle, Targin, is a powerful figure among the goblins, and he is tired of being ruled by the fairy queen, Titania. Targin has heard a rumor and thinks that holding Tamisin will help him to bargain with the fairy queen.

I enjoyed this story. Baker's writing is sometimes a bit awkward, espeically his dialog, which often seems clunky and unrealistic. However, I did think the characters and story were interesting -- certainly enough so to finish the book and wish I could read more.
