Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner
15-year-old Liza lives in a world that recently survived a war between the human world and the world of Faerie. Now the things in the human world have become strange, vines and trees have a taste for blood, corn and potatoes fight back when harvested. Liza's father has kept the entire village safe after the war, stamping out any sign of magic in the people who live there. When Liza's baby sister is born with the clear hair that is a sign of magic, her father takes the baby into the wild and leaves her to die. After the baby's death, Liza's mother leaves the village, her death in the forest a certainty. Now Liza is starting to notice signs of magic in herself. She has visions in water and mirrors. Fearing for her life and following her visions that show her mother alive, Liza flees into the wild. She is joined by a boy from her village who has a magical secret of his own. Liza must now learn the truth about the War and her magic for herself.

Unable to control his movements, except for very short periods, Sam is shunned by his stepfather, Bill. Bill has told Sam many stories about his neglectful real father who womanized and drank and gave Sam his disorder through his faulty genes. Now Sam is about to graduate from high school. He has no prospects, no college dreams, nothing to look forward to. It all starts to change when he agrees to work for George the Coot who used to be best friends with his real father. As Sam learns the truth about his father, he discovers the truth about himself too.
