He learns that he is to be the Keeper for the fairies and is responsible for protecting the realm. He meets his tutor Mickal who is very mischievous, and makes his life incredibly difficult by sending large creatures after him, just to test him of course. Farquhar’s sister betrays him at school (she tells the other kids about him talking to fairies), of course he gets beat up, and after that he has to say he is gay to protect the secret of the realm. Farquhar’s father is a problem not only for Farquhar but for the fairies as well, he is used to getting his way about everything and if he doesn’t he gets angry and throws a fit.

Farquhar’s family move back to New York leaving him with his grandparents. He fights the feelings of abandonment by spending most of his time in the realm and learning as much as he can about magic. Farquhar doesn’t have much time to brood over being left behind because Mickal resumes his testing by leaving him in a forest inside the realm where he is chased by huge wolfish type creatures. Through the fear and real need to escape he discovers he can fly! Much more knowledge and many more adventures are ahead for Farquhar…
