I'd read this one before, but it was a LONG time ago and I'd forgotten most of the plot. It's the (3rd?) in a series. The first in the series was pretty good, the rest were so-so. There's some humor in the books. Fantasy, set in modern times. Seems there there are "little people" that immigrated to America 100-200 years ago when all the other immigrants arrived. This batch had been hiding in a college library basement in the first book. By this book they are living on a farm, but this nasty factory nearby has been violating EPA rules (dumping wastes), and things get complicated from that point.

I’m really enjoying these books; they’re easy to read, the characters are engaging and they’re sweet stories.

Keith Doyle is my hero. This book continues to focus on the myth loving college student who believes (and knows) that there is more out there than meets the eye and some tales are not tales at all.
In Higher Mythology, Keith is working at an ad agency for a college internship. He deals with rivals, a bad politician, kidnapping, a hot air balloon, leaning more magic of his own, air sprites and who knows how many cups of coffee!!
Another wonderful book with the next one in the series arriving here any day now. Must reads if the child in you still believes!!
