The Replacement
by Brenna Yovanoff
In a fading steel town, the people don't talk about the missing children. But for Mackie Doyle, having spent his whole life trying to avoid being noticed, the neighbor's kid is the last straw: He's know Tate his whole life, and she tells him that her little sister didn't just die, but in the months before she died -- she wasn't even herself.
Mackie doesn't doubt the story because he is himself a changeling child left in place of the human Mackie Doyle as an infant. He's allergic to blood, iron, consecrated ground, and he's about to meet his own kind. Under the slag heaps at the edge of town, there are two camps of otherworldly folk, and he'll have to summon all his will and resources to get Tate's baby sister back above ground.
Fun take on modern Faerie, with plenty of moody teen-age angst.
