In The City on the Other Side, a young girl stumbles into a pitched war between two fairy kingdoms, and the fate of San Francisco itself hangs in the balance!
Sheltered within her high-society world, Isabel plays the part of a perfectly proper little girl―she’s quiet, well-behaved, and she keeps her dresses spotlessly clean. She’s certainly not the kind of girl who goes on adventures.
But that all changes when Isabel breaches an invisible barrier and steps into another world. She discovers a city not unlike her own, but magical and dangerous. Here, war rages between the fairies of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts.

Jul 22, 2022This is a beautiful adventure story with a sympathetic main character whose neglect is palpable in the first few pages. She takes up the mantel of the quest fairly easily, but it's pretty believable given that going back home means more time without anyone caring what happens to her. Button, her mushroom seelie friend, is pretty feisty and sometimes comical, so he provides some needed moments of laughter. There's also some good representation between the two human characters as Isabel is Latinx and Benji, a boy who was rescued by fairies after the Fire, is Filipino. The seelie and unseelie characters all have really unique designs and aren't like the typical fairies people might be used to, which gave this story some freshness in a landscape covered in fairy books.
