Just stumbled upon this book by accident, thank you, Goodreads! Have been trying to remember the title for the longest time! I read this several times in grade school, it fascinated me! Ivy Carson is from a, well, trashy family, but she herself is very different. She tells the mousy Martha who is her best friend that she is the daughter of the fairy queen, and has been switched with the real Ivy Carson. Ivy is a gifted but unschooled dancer, with wild black hair and capricious moods.

What a writer! The Changeling remains, along with "The Velvet room", another one by this author, one of my all time faves. Have you ever felt like a "Changeling"? Did you feel like when in childhood? Even for a moment? I think most of us have. In the case of Ivy and
It's too bad that it never got to the part about her being a changeling and it was only about the human side of things. Does anyone know which kind of faeries she was descended from?
Loved this book as a kid. I thought it was about magic. I took all my books out of my parents' house and am re-reading them.I discovered this book is actually about class and friendships. It's well done and the ending is pitch perfect.
I read this book for the first time as an adult, despite knowing about it since I was a kid, and my first thought was "Why didn't I ever read this when I was in middle school?" I went through something similar as Martha, and my bully was also named Kelly. I also liked making up stories and lived in a bit of a fantasy world as a kid. I felt like this book really told a great story of what it's like to be a kid.The main story revolves around a friendship between two girls, Martha and Ivy. Martha
