Ilustration In Favor Of Books The Blue Girl (Newford #15)

Seventeen-year-old Imogene's tough, rebellious nature has caused her more harm than good—so when her family moves to Newford, she decides to reinvent herself. She won't lose her punk/thrift-shop look, but she'll try to avoid the gangs, work a little harder at school, and maybe even stay out of trouble for a change.

But trouble shows up anyway. Imogene quickly catches the eye of Redding's bullies, as well as the school's resident teen ghost. Then she gets on the wrong side of a gang of malicious fairies. When her imaginary childhood friend, Pelly, actually manifests, Imogene realizes that the impossible is all too real. And it's dangerous. If she wants to survive high school—not to mention stay alive—she has to fall back on the skills she picked up in her hometown, running with a gang. Even with Maxine and some unexpected allies by her side, will her new friend be able to make it?

Criticize Of Books The Blue Girl (Newford #15)

Not as good as I hoped. Imogene moves to the fairy haunted town of Newford. She befriends the quiet, bullied Maxine and soon sees the ghost Adrian stalking her.

The first problem is that Imogene is far too competent for a teenage girl. She never

A surprisingly fun little fantasy story. 3.5/5.

I love a book that takes an familiar trope and turns it on its ear. Forget what you know from other books about fairies; Charles de Lint's fairies aren't particularly beautiful, but they are a little bit wicked. I loved the way he mixed elements from fantasy, science fiction, even horror to create his world. The characters are realistic and believable, and the issues they deal with are real as much as they are fantastic. Bullying, oppressive parents, parents who don't care enough, image and

When 17 year old Imogenes family move Newford, she decides to change her ways a bit. Rather than running with a gang, shell make an effort at school and try to stay out of trouble. She quickly makes friends with Maxine, a girl who seems to be her exact opposite, and tries to ignore the resident school bullies. But the attention of the schools resident ghost and a bunch of malevolent fairies (to say nothing of the reappearance of Pelly, Imogenes imagery friend from her childhood) soon mean the

I really liked the friendship aspect in this novel.

Charles de Lint is one of my favorite authors, for his infusion of magic and fantasy into everyday modern cityscapes. Having recently read and enjoyed The Cats of Tanglewood Forest, it was an unexpected treat to discover an uncorrected bound proof of The Blue Girl in my favorite second-hand bookstore.
