Full of romance and danger, this is an arresting adventure that slips effortlessly between our world and the dark world of the paranormal. Mackie Doyle is not what he seems. Despite his apparently normal life, Mackie is a Replacement; he comes from a sinister, underground world but was swapped at birth for a human baby. Now sixteen, Mackie’s allergies are putting his human life at risk and he is drawn back to his old world. Can he see off the dark powers that threaten to engulf him?
Here's what two major best-selling authors thought of The Replacement:
"I loved this eerie and beautiful story of ugly things. It should be read aloud after
dark, at a whisper" - Maggie Stiefvater, author of Shiver.
"I so loved this book. Mackie Doyle is one of the sweetest, strangest, most
magnetic heroes I've read in a long time. He charmed me and his story kept me up
at night." - Lauren Kate, author of Fallen.

Brenna Yovanoff Press Reviews
Rachael Bradley age 14 I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked the way it put a new spin on the idea of 'replacement'! I also though it was similar to the '13 ...' series (13 Secrets, 13 Treasures and 13 Curses) as they both involve a human baby being stolen and being replaced with a changeling (a fairy baby).
