Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan

Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan is a sci fi about a faerie world and our analog world. It is kinda like a myth [we've been studying them in language arts] because it has lots of explanations for things, from UFOs and demons to why the faeries we see have wings. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH! I am going completely away from the story and making it look like a spiced up history book, which is definitely not the case.
Let's begin.
There is a boy named Henry. His life is like a book that I tried writing once, and still have on my hard drive [if I get comments about it I could put it in a series of posts]; all the action at once and a horrible aftermath. then he goes to clean up an old man's house, like he does once or twice a week.

He is slightly insane, always rambling on about aliens and how the CIA & FBI are all being mindwashed as I type. and his cat is a menace to the many-legged society. So when he sees this cat start to chomp on a beautiful butterfly, he saves it's life, or rather the life of Pyrgus Malvae, a faerie prince from a parralel world.
This prince was escaping from usurpers who are trying to overthrow his father, the king, or as they call him there, "The Purple Emperor". Pyrgus loves animals, and before he changed worlds was in trouble from saving kittens from a glue factory, where they would have been boiled alive as the main ingredient.
Then Henry and old mr. Fogarty [the neighbor whose yard he cleans] go to Pyrgus' native land, him included with the travelers to save the lives of Pyrgus and his people. His is a thrilling tale full of adventure, good for ages [at least I think] 10+.
