Books with title Earth Boy

No one has ever escaped. Only a few have even tried. For most, there’s no reason to leave the magical city in the clouds, High up Harmony, where trixles (pure-blooded fairies) live in apparent bliss, undisturbed by any misfit mongrais (human-trixle mixes). But Feather Spear and her best friend, Jacy June, long to accomplish the impossible: return to earth. The girls somehow manage to integrate into a human family on earth, even though humans and trixles are sworn enemies. What’s more, Feather and Jacy scandalously develop feelings for a human boy named Kevin. But it doesn’t take long before human-trixle animosity re-awakens, forcing the girls to consider whether coming to earth was the right decision after all. Back in High up Harmony, the girls’ departure has radically shaken the entire cloud community, causing the outwardly-perfect trixles to examine themselves more closely than ever before. Truth can sting. It also can reveal dark and painful family secrets. For Feather and Jacy, the truth rocks their sense of identity and challenges their understanding of home, family, and friendship.
