Shayla Witherwood: a half-faerie tale is a fun book. It is also a paranormal book that I would feel comfortable having a tween read. It takes place in high school and has a lot of the typical drama that is found there, except with this fun twist of Shayla being a half-faerie. There is magic in the book, but it is mild. I also truly liked the main character Shayla. She wasn't contrived or trying to be something than what she truly wasn't. I liked the relationships that she formed with others at the school. She could be called a true and loyal friend. That in itself is a super message found in the book.

Along with the "high-school" side of the story, there is also a good mystery for Shayla to figure out.
