More About This Book

Overview

When Henry Atherton helps Mr. Fogarty clean up around his house, he expects to find a mess and a cranky old man; what he doesn't expect to find is Pyrgus Malvae, crown prince of the Faerie realm, who has escaped the treacherous Faeries of the Night by traveling to the human world through a portal powered by trapped lightning. An egomaniacal demon prince, greedy glue factory owners Brimstone and Chalkhill, and the nefarious Lord Hairstreak, leader of the Faeries of the Night, all dream of ruling the Faerie realm and are out to kill Pyrgus. Enlisting the help of his sister, Holly Blue, and his new friend, Henry, Pyrgus must get back to the Faerie world alive before one of his many enemies gets to him instead. But how many portals are open, and can Pyrgus find the right one before it falls into the wrong hands? Conjuring scenes filled with vivid color, unforgettable detail, and fearless characters, author Herbie Brennan brings readers to the Faerie world, where nothing is ever what it seems and no one can be trusted.

Troubled by family problems, Henry finds his life taking a whole new dimension when he and his friend, old Mr. Fogarty, become involved with Prince Pyrgus Malvae who has been sent from the faerie world in order to escape the treacherous Faeries of the Night.

Editorial Reviews

Eoin Colfer
"Faerie Wars is an astounding blend of fantasy, mythology and science. Herbie Brennan is a master of all three.

"Two worlds collide in this humorous tale of warring Faerie factions and their impact on the `real world,' " wrote PW. Ages 12-up. (Sept.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

"Older fans of Colfer's Artemis Fowl should march right into battle."

From The Critics
Young Henry is experiencing major changes in his family. While doing some odd jobs for a neighbor, Mr. Fogarty, Henry meets Pyrgus who has crossed over from a parallel (fairy) world where he is prince of the Purple Kingdom. Henry first encounters Pyrgus as the prince passes through a portal into the Analog (real) world in his miniature, winged form only to be quickly nabbed by the cat. Together, Mr. Fogarty (an inventor), Henry and Pyrgus work to save the fairy realm from threats of war and return the prince safely home. Although it is a fantasy work with a note of humor, this book accomplishes more than just that as it deals with many modern issues, including divorce, homosexual parents, dysfunctional families and conspiracy theories. American readers will quickly get past the colloquial differences of an Irish writer and find the book an enthralling read. 2003, Bloomsbury, 370 pp., Ages young adult.
—Vinnie Bonnit
Children's Literature
One cannot help but compare Faerie Wars to Artemis Fowl. Both take the realm of faerie into the world of science and have teenage male protagonists. However, Faerie Wars brings something else to the table—likable and sympathetic characters. Brennan blends science and magic in a way that seems realistic, and shows human and faerie, male and female, and protagonist and antagonist points of view equally well. The human Henry is dealing with the separation of his parents (brought on by his mother's affair with his father's secretary) when he discovers the faerie Pyrgus. Pyrgus has been exiled from the faerie world after discovering the secret ingredient for glue (kittens) and urging his father, the Purple Emperor, to take a stronger stance on this political issue. With the help of Mr. Fogarty, a physicist-turned-bank-robber, and Blue, Pyrgus's sister, Henry and Pyrgus defeat an attempt to wrest political power from Pyrgus and bring the murderer of Pyrgus and Blue's father to justice. The magic and the science are well explained, creating a richly textured world. The humor is entertaining but does not eclipse the plot. The book ends "to be continued," so we can look forward to a sequel. 2003, Bloomsbury,
— Amie Rose Rotruck
KLIATT
To quote from the review of the audiobook in this issue: Young Henry Atherton's life seems set for mayhem. First he discovers that his mother is having an affair with his father's female secretary. This is confusing for Henry, but he survives by burying himself in chores for neighbor and former thief/ mechanical genius Mr. Fogarty. Then even more excitement ensues. It is at Fogarty's place that Henry's life intersects with that of Pyrgus Malvae, a crown prince from a parallel universe who is running from the Faeries of the Night. Henry and Fogarty join forces to take the prince back home, and this complicated story becomes even more so as Henry and Pyrgus return together to defeat forces of evil. This fantasy adventure will appeal to older Artemis Fowl fans and is an ALA Best Book for YAs. (Editor's note: The sequel, The Purple Emperor, is now available in hardcover: Bloomsbury. 431p. ISBN 1582348804. ) KLIATT Codes: J*Exceptional book, recommended for junior high school students. 2003, Bloomsbury, 368p., Ages 12 to 15.

It caught my curiosity, focusing on different characters rather than just one. It's mysterious and very suspenseful, the most exciting book I have read.

KLIATT
Henry helps take care of Dr. Fogarty's house. Little does he know how complicated his life will become. Dr. Fogarty was a bank robber in the past, but no one knew he was a physicist. Nor does anyone know that he has created a portal to a parallel universe inhabited by faeries. Dubious Henry discovers a whole new world inhabited by faeries, demons, and sorcerers. His parents disapprove of Henry's association with Dr. Fogarty; if they only knew... In the land of Faerie, Pyrgus Malvae wants to protect animals, particularly from a glue factory that kills kittens to improve the quality of their products. Pyrgus tries to escape the clutches of the evil manufacturers, and ends up in the Analog world of Henry and Dr. Fogarty. As the humans and faeries experience each other's worlds, life gets more complicated. For instance, Henry accidentally sees Prygus's sister naked. Dr. Fogarty is possessed by a demon who urges him to kill the Faerie king. The future of Faerie land is at stake. This fantasy is a suspenseful adventure that crosses worlds. Not surprisingly, the volume ends with unresolved issues, requiring a sequel (or two). Character development is nuanced, and the plot has some great details and twists. While not stellar, this book will be a satisfying read for most fantasy readers.
School Library Journal
Gr 5-8-Henry Atherton's family is in some disarray when his mother has an affair with his father's female secretary. Henry's escape is helping elderly Mr. Fogarty with chores. Meanwhile, in a parallel world, Pyrgus Malvae, son of the Purple Emperor, is being chased and climbs the fence outside a glue factory where he discovers an evil secret and also comes close to losing his life. His father decides to send his son through a portal to the "Analogue World" for safety, which results in him mistakenly showing up under the lawn mower at Fogarty's where he meets Henry. Pyrgus arrives the size of a fairy, but overnight he grows and his wings disappear. Fogarty, a former bank robber and mechanical genius, sets out to build an artificial portal to send Pyrgus back home. Eventually, Henry and Fogarty cross over into the Purple Kingdom, where they help defeat the forces of evil. This book has a complex plot with plenty of drama and action, but at times the story seems to sink under its own weight. Early on, the transition from contemporary England to the Purple Kingdom is sudden, and the two settings do not intersect until well into the book, which may confuse some readers, and it's difficult to keep straight the many characters in the Purple Kingdom. In the end, Henry's experiences give him the wisdom to craft his own family solution.-Jane G. Connor, South Carolina State Library, Columbia Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
Kirkus Reviews
A clever, sly fantasy with immediate intrigue and plenty of science. Henry begins in England, crushed and wobbly over his parents’ impending breakup. Pyrgus begins in the Realm of Faerie, trying to save a cage of kittens from being boiled in glue. Soon Pyrgus’s life is threatened and he is "translated" into the Analogue World, where he meets Henry. Various sorcerers, slimy businessmen, and a demon prince from Hael are all after Pyrgus’s life. Henry, Henry’s elderly oddball friend with mysterious scientific brilliance, and Pyrgus’s fiercely loyal sister, Blue, help Pyrgus return home and defeat the forces of darkness. Twists and turns provide real surprises along the way; touches of gore are occasional but vivid. The portals between worlds and the overlapping of science with religion may owe a debt to Philip Pullman, but they are welcome here as well. Aside from unjustifiably archaic gender roles, this is the perfect choice for Harry Potter fans who don’t know what to read next. (Fiction. 10-14)

CORNERED!

It would only be a matter of time before his pursuers reached the gate. Pyrgus didn't think they'd climb over, but they might bribe a guard to let them in. In any case, he couldn't afford to hang around. He was about to make a dash across the yard when a fat rat darted from one of the buildings. It had got no more than six feet when a cobblestone exploded.
Pyrgus froze as chips of stone and bits of rat rained down on him. Chalkhill and Brimstone had laid mines around their factory? He shivered. He'd been about to run across those cobbles.
What were Chalkhill and Brimstone trying to hide? A minefield was more than the usual Faerie-of-the-Night suspicion, way more than anything you'd do to protect a formula for glue.
What was going on in the factory?

    Ugh

    I thought this book would be good. The plot sounded fun and I love fantasy, so I thought I'd give it a try. I wish I wouldn't have. The book starts out with the boy finding out his mom is having an affair, with a woman, (Ugh). That turned me off right there. I put the book right down and I will never look at it again. The story was probably good, and I would have read it were it not for that stuped little tid bit.

    I felt the story was good until it came to the parents and family problems. I guess I am old fashion but I don't want my kids reading so much about homosexuality. It is not a topic I find apropriate for kids under 16 years old and the story might not be advanced enough for the older age group.

    never thought

    Never thought a book could be sooo boring.Everything was slow and I had to force myself to get through the beginning. By the time I got to the middle I just couldn't take it anymore and I had to either stop or lose my sanity and knowledge that i liked to read. You couldn't tell what would happen next but everything happened so slowly that you didn't care. The most boring novel ever pretty much sums it up.

    Wonderful!

    The story is exciting with many twists and turns. The characters are developed brilliantly. I loved this book. A note to earlier reviewers who are uncomfortable with the homosexuality that comes up in this book. What, exactly, is an 'appropriate' age for young people to be presented with homosexual themes? Your kids will be confronted with these issues in real life sooner than you think. Why not allow them to confront the issues in a safe environment, like a wonderful novel, first? Don't keep your kids from current issues. They'll only fall behind their classmates.

    Awesome read!

    I just finished this book and it's one of my favorites next to Harry Potter, the Bartimaeus Trilogy, and Lord of the Rings. It was a fun read with both modern and old like mixture of reading. Herbie is a great writer and the book was fast moving and never disappointing.

    I loved it

    There are some slow parts, but for the most part, I loved it and couldn't wait to read more. Some reviewers were turned off by the plot line of Henry's Mother being a lesbian, but I feel it's a necessary part of the story line because it makes it easier for Henry to eventually decide not to return home. If his family were sweet and wonderful we wouldn't be rooting for him to stay with Blue.

    Fun but Childish

    This was an okay read. It wasn't bad, it was rather quite fun. Though I don't recommend it for serious adult reading, teens or preteens will get a kick out of the series.

    an ok book

    Faerie Wars was a pretty good book. It was exciting at some parts and super boring at others. The part when Pyrgus was captured by demons was exciting, but the beginning was super boring. I probably wont read the next book. Henry is a boy who just found out that his mom likes another woman. Pyrgus is a kid from another dimension and is crown prince. He gets into a lot of trouble, and when the trouble is highest, he is sent to the Analogue world where everything goes wrong. Henry finds the kid as a fairy.... weird huh? And now they must find a way for Pyrgus to get back. This book is for fantasy readers. There is a little action here, but it is mostly calm through out the story. This story has fairies, demons, stun wands, wizards, and a lot of imaginary stuff. This would be great for Harry Potter fans.

    GOOD

    This book is a good book for fans of Artemis Fowl books, but I wouldn't recomend it for kids. It's kind of slow in the beginning but it gets better and once at the middle it's impossible to put down.

    Eh...

    This book was okay. I thought the plot was too similar to other plots of different books. I am not, however, going to finish the series. It just didn't capture my interest enough. An okay read, but there are better books out there. Though, I warn you, beware of some homosexual content in this book.

    Only halfway done

    Well, I'm only halfway through with this book. Why? I let my friend borrow it on the band bus...and she got so into it I felt i really ought to let her borrow for it the weekend! She finished it like the next day and immediately got on here and ordered the sequel! Wow! Anyway, it's very rare that I go into a bookstore and pick out a book that I've not a)read before b)read something else by the author before c)had reccomended to me But with this one I did. I just walked in the store, looked for a good title, and bought. It was such a rush for me :P. But I thought it jumped into the story really quickly. I've been surprised so many times so far...with Pyrgus's parentage, oh, I can't think off the top of my head, but lots of stuff. I would most likely reccomend this to someone, even though it has some words that I don't like :( But I will probably get the sequel.

    Awesome Book

    Faerie Wars has all the elements of a good book. It's creative, funny, serious, scary and much more. Readers 12+ would enjoy this book.

    Found this at a library and got it. May appeal to some, but i would not recommend the waste of money

    Parents Beware

    This is a terrible book. Just because a book is for "Juvinile Fiction" does not mean kids should read it....or anyone in this case. I would not even give this 1 star.

    An Enjoyable Book

    I had gotten this book, and in bonus gotten a really cool sketchbook. When school for me started I really didn't want to just have my classes where there was no work and bus rides there and back to be boring, so I picked up the book and started to read it, in less than a week later I was finished with the book and find myself wanting to see more of it. The story is an enjoyable one, with a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, and I would recommend this book to anyone of any age.

    Beware

    While the following comment will be met with laughter and maybe some anger from those less conservative than me, the homosexual content of this book, while certainly not extensive or graphic, is not appropriate for younger teen readers.
