Cyn Balog's debut novel, "Fairy Tale," most definitely deviates from classic fairy tales.

The novel is about two infatuated neighbors, Morgan Sparks and Cameron Browne. Morgan and Cameron have been best friends their whole lives, and are convinced they will spend the rest of their lives together. There is a twist: Cameron is a fairy, actually a fairy king.

Cameron and his parents' real son, Pip, were switched at birth, and now that Cameron is almost of age -- all fairies get their full-fledged powers on the night of their 16th birthday -- the fairies want to take him back to their world; a world where he will never see Morgan again.

Morgan, determined to keep Cameron for herself, forms a plan in which Pip goes back into the fairy world instead of Cameron. However, things are not what they seem. As Cameron's birthday approaches, he begins to morph into his true form, a form that only Morgan can see.

Why is it that only Morgan sees that Cameron is changing? And why is it that the more time Morgan spends with Pip, the more she finds herself falling for him?

Based on the book's summary, I was not very keen on reading it. A story about a girl's boyfriend being a fairy did seem quite odd. But you can't judge a book by its cover.

So, I started reading and found that after the first 100 pages, the book was not so bad. Actually, because I stayed up until 4 a.m. to finish the book, it must be pretty good. I thought "Fairy Tale" was a good read and would be enjoyed by many teens.

If you do end up starting "Fairy Tale," keep reading. The first few pages may not seem that exciting, but it just keeps getting better.
