This story is a great departure from reality.
Henry Day is abducted as child by the "changelings" (they are beings who live in the woods who never grow old). In exchange for Henry, the changelings leave behind one of their own a 'changeling' who was stolen a hundred years ago from his family. The 'new' Henry Day can play the piano, and he is SO talented at playing the piano, his mother wonders what happened to Henry. The story goes on to describe how each boy must adapt to fit into his 'new' world.
Changelings have often been a part of folklore and this story has an interesting slant on those tales. I originally listened to the story about 4 years ago and I recently got another copy of the audiobook so I could hear the story again. The story makes you think about the possibilities of things beyond our comprehension.
