Narration Concering 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?

Judge About Books The Blue Girl (Newford #15)

A surprisingly fun little fantasy story. 3.5/5.

When people ask me what my favourite book is my default answer is The Blue Girl. One of my first experiences with urban fantasy I found The Blue Girl to be the perfect combination of weird and wonderful. I'm sure that in the coming years I will re-read this book to see if it holds up to my previous experience and when that happens I'll be sure to give it a proper review. In the meantime, I highly recommend you check out Charles de Lint. His Newford series is really interesting and worth it for

Charles de Lint takes on the similar territory as Nina Kiriki Hoffmann's Spirits That Walk in Shadow , but not quite as engagingly. Imogene is the new girl at school, trying to make the best of a fresh start. No more hanging out with the bad crowd, no sirree. But she puts herself in danger by revealing that she can see the school ghost, and that gets other spirits in an uproar. Danger, danger, weird dreams and soul-eaters ahead.I liked Imogene's punky sensibility, she reminded me of Buffy,

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. Adrian hangs out with some fairies, who as a lark try and get Imogene to notice them. But they have darker motives as well, and soon some of the less friendly denizens of fairyland take notice of Imogene too.A lot of things about the book I didn't like. The first problem is that Imogene is far too competent for a teenage girl. She never

There are several books I'd like to see made into a movie. Here's the case for this one:People I know who like this book tend to love it. Folks who have a quarrel kinda feel the characters don't work for them. But, we're not speaking of Dostoyevsky here...deLint does what he does, and most of it I find is better than fair. Some conclusions get drawn, but they grow organically from the story and aren't truly heavy-handed. There is some sweetness to the characters, and some mild surprises along

I remember reading this book when I was in Jr. High or High School. I don't remember if I loved it or not but it made me want to read it again. While it was a good story filled with ghosts and fairy's and imaginary friends, I still felt as though the story was missing something. It didn't fall flat per se, but there wasn't a lot of meat to it. Everyone in the story took to believing Imogene's story about the ghost and the fairies. I didn't mind her best friend Maxine believing too, but EVERYONE

This review was originally posted in 2008 after I had read the book for the first time:"The Blue Girl" by Charles de Lint has been one of the most satisfying snatches from the fantasy shelves for me last year.Is has it all:1. A very warm-hearted and detailed description of a forming unlikely friendship between tough punk-girl Imogene, who had a criminal gang-member-record in her hometown and a childhood spent mainly on her own because of her drug-consuming carefree hippy-parents, and anxious,
