YA
American Fairy series.
Half-fairy princess Callie (Dust Girl) and her friend Jack continue their search for Callie's parents. The clues lead them to MGM Studios, where they fall in with child star Ivy Bright. Zettel brings the mythology of the Celtic fairy tradition into 1930s Hollywood; the cold glitter of the fairy courts acts as a parallel to the tawdry glitz of Hollywood fame.

American Fairy series.
The Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, and Celtic fairy-lore come together when Callie learns that her long-absent father was not just a charming African American jazz musician but a prince of fairyland. When her Mama is whisked away in a whirl of dust and magic, Callie sets off to retrieve her. An intelligent, imaginative concoction with a vivid setting and an engaging protagonist.
