The Blue Girl -Charles de Lint

Fantasy is one of my guilty pleasures, especially children/teenage fantasy. This book covered those criteria and I wasn't too disappointed. A girl brought up by hippies but now living with a single mother and brother in a new town and has enrolled in a new school. She finds a close friend in Maxine and disturbingly in an imaginary childhood friend Pelly. Then there is a ghost adrian, naughty house spirits, eveil fairys etc etc. All the parents are cool and nobody bats an eyelid when confronted by these supernatural creatures and occurrences. All in all, not the best of the genre, but a good read.

6/10
