This is not for young adults; sex.  "The Fairy" is a really short story (10 min to read) that showcases Kristen James' writing ability.  There is action from the beginning and then a chase by pirates culminating into a wish being granted.  Since it was so short, there are no expectations for character depth or real plot, but it does provide evidence that James is a good writer.Phen (Stephen) "wins" Trisha, a tiny fairy, from an old pirate he just helped escape being beat to a pulp.  Phen is searching for his wayward younger brother and Trisha becomes his love interest quickly.  Though she never showed the pirates, Trisha can become human size for small amounts of time, which she does with Phen.  A very abruptly written "encounter" between these two have them pining for more time at equal heights.  Phen's brother is discovered as a prisoner of the pirates who are now after Phen and Trisha.  An escape ensues....Kristen James is someone I might read again.  This story was distracting because of the editing.  The wrong but similar word would be used like "starting" for "staring" or "closet" instead of "closest".  I never take off stars for bad editing, just mentioning it for those to whom it bothers.Would I/Did I buy it? Free DownloadWould I read it again? NoWould I recommend it to friends? Sure
