The Changeling
The Changeling | Zilpha K Snyder
2 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Ivy and Martha are not ordinary friends, Ivy is changeling with supernatural powers—or is she? Martha is incredibly unpopular. She’s overweight, buck-toothed, and shy. Ivy is an outcast. Her family lives on the outskirts of town amid a field of derelict orchards. But starting in second grade, the girls form a bond that allows them to take control of their own lives. It all begins when Ivy tells Martha that she is no ordinary girl: She claims she’s a changeling, switched with the real Ivy at birth. With the strength of Ivy’s friendship, Martha becomes more confident and sure of herself. And through their bond, Ivy gains the normalcy she needs, away from life with her tumultuous family. When the two girls play, they enter an elaborate fantasy world all their own. But when the real world threatens to split them apart, their friendship becomes more important than ever. This ebook features an extended biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.

Revisiting this today as an exercise in the writing book I‘m reading. I loved this as a kid. Such a beautiful, bittersweet story of friendship and discovering who you are. If you haven‘t read it, invent a time machine, go back and give it to your misfit ten-year-old self, then come back and read it again. It‘s that good.

A wonderful coming of age story that I've loved since I was a little girl, & it holds up to re-reading! If you have a young girl in your life, gift her this book! It is about friendship, imagination, figuring out who you are & how to be ok with that, and about finding your place in an ever complicating world as you grow into yourself.
