Faerie wars by Herbie Brennan is today’s book of the day. 

Troubled by family problems, Henry finds his life taking a whole new dimension when he and his friend, old Mr. Fogarty, become involved with a Prince who has been sent from the faerie world in order to escape the evil Faeries of the Night. With the help of his sister, Holly Blue, and his new friend, Henry, the Prince must get back to the Faerie world alive before one of his many enemies gets to him instead. But how many portals are open, and can the Prince find the right one before it falls into the wrong hands?
