Beyond the Firefly Field
Living in the country seemed to present only boredom for Clayton and his friends, until one night a faraway glowing field beckoned them. What they found had been safely hidden away for over a thousand years. The kids soon became obsessed with the wonders they had discovered, as their wishes for excitement and adventure were granted. But visiting the field was beginning to change them; and as school started, their secret became harder to keep. Clayton felt torn---like he was living in two worlds---and he feared he would soon have to do whatever it took to keep the secret. . .or never go back to the firefly field again.

Fabulous read for 8-14, very boy-friendly read, too. Building with wood and Adventures, very boy-friendly. Which is why the title is about Firefly Field and not Faeries. Shhh.
The text about the Firefly culture was a little slow in one area where it was a lot of information and my brain went "yadda, yadda, back to something ELSE please" And right after that, the author DID do something else, and a little further into the book, I saw why the extra load of information was necessary to the plot. So, I stand corrected.
The time between books cleverly mirrors the kids' wait for seasonal change! I would definitely recommend this to (parents of) kids of the right age. I would probably read the entire series if I could. I just might! Because age is just a number!

I received this book from Goodreads. This was not only a good fantasy story but it had science facts, studying tips, and how working together can get some things done. There was a bully who got his due, an evil farmer who in the end was a friend and older people helping younger people. It will make a great Christmas gift.
