Fourteen year-old Brendan Clair figures his troubles are over.

In The Prince of Two Tribes Brendan discovers that his troubles are only just beginning. He must prove his Faerie worthiness in a series of deadly challenges that will be judged at the Gathering of the Clans -- a festival set to take place at the winter solstice, only a few weeks away. To make matters worse, Brendan is having trouble mastering the simplest of his newfound talents, even with the help of his closest Faerie friends. And the fact that he's being stalked by a mysterious shape-shifter and an evil Faerie lord doesn't help his situation either.Can Brendan deal with his stalkers, master his abilities, and survive the Proving, all while keeping his Human friends and family from learning of his Faerie roots? or will the stresses of living a double life prove to be too much? Join Brendan and a cast of strange and often dangerous characters in this, the second book in The Chronicles of the Misplaced Prince series.

Reviews

[Hera · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was as witty and comical as the first. Brendan was more kickass in this one and got even more enemies. These enemies were not unfortunately taken by his father, so I'm looking forward to the next book and see what will happen. I recommend this book for all who enjoy a bit of funny dialogue and a crazy narrator!

I really enjoyed this book! The action started fairly quickly and held my attention all the way through. I also enjoyed the author/narrator's footnotes and sidenotes in the story; they were often very amusing.

Can't wait for the third book!! :)

[MKAC · Rating 4 out of 5]

Both books made me laugh along with the pure enjoyment of reading it. It will be recommended to the young adults in my life, as well as the adults who are still young.

[Narnia Llama · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was witty, funny, and adventurous! It's not just a fantasy/adventure story- it has characters that most readers can relate to and has serious and then laugh-out-loud moments! Anyone who wants to read a book worth their time should read this (though I'd recommend reading The Prince of Neither Here Nor There first...)!
