This is a compelling, modern adaptation of the original Changeling story. Diverse characters. Big city atmosphere. And the whole book is told from the father's point of view.
The melding of tradition European folktales with modern American life is so mindfully blended that this story has the feel of a real life mystery/thriller, while still possessing supernatural elements.
A thought-provoking, contemporary adult fairy tale.
