Little Grrl Lost Charles de Lint 9780670061440 Books

I've been reading Charles de Lint novels and short stories for nearly as long as he's been writing them. And in that time I've recommended various books to people of a variety of ages. However, as fun as his books can be, not nearly enough of them were appropriate for younger readers.

I was very excited to see this title added to his small, but growing list of books geared towards younger readers. I think that this book is the first that would be appropriate for upper middle school readers.

Some of the complaints of one of the other reviewers are, to me, some of the strengths of this book for a younger audience. The narration stays fairly tightly focused on the two main characters: TJ & Elizabeth. The secondary characters are developed based on the amount of interaction TJ and Elizabeth have with them. And while both girls do change to varying degrees within the short time period of the book, the changes do not seem entirely implausible if you consider all that happens in that time.

This is a fine tale of how friends can change your life and yourself when you let them. And it is a fun entry into the rather large fantasy world of Charles de Lint.

I am very satisfied with this order, the book was in the conditioned that the seller described and the order was shipped in a timely manor.
Charles de Lint has been and will be one of my favorite authors out there. This novel has a great plot line and is thrilling, comical, and perfect in every way, just like ever other one of De Lint's books. I know his books will never stop exceeding my expectations.
As a Charles de Lint fan, I default to liking this book, though not as much as CDL's 'adult' novels. The characterisation is good and the descriptions of life and the scenery in the urban world is lovely.

As others have pointed out the novel is aimed at younger readers, low to mid teens I'd say - which is why, as an adult, I have rated it 3 stars. For a teen it would be 4 stars.
I don't know I've been reading CDL for decades now and this story while cute was so light and unsubstantial that I felt a touch ripped off.
It was not badly written but this story seems more appropriate as part of an anthology than a stand alone.
It also seems like someone was asking him to write a story that teens could read so it was missing a lot of what makes CDL so interesting, the dark side of his storys. Not that this is neccessarily a kids book but it was so close to being one I was suprised and how the dark plot points were pretty much glossed over.
I've started "Dingo" the CDL book I ordered but it has already become apparant it the same kind of book and I'm just not all that sure I care for this lighter, shorter and less mature style CDL story unless it is within a larger volume of stories. As it is I actually regret paying for these books only and feel short changed.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick, smooth read, and very enjoyable.

A family moves into a new surburban home, and soon a family of "Littles" secretly moves in with them. Littles are small folk about six inches high who live unknown in the homes of the Bigs--the normal folks (that's us). One of the Littles dughters is a teenager, with generation type problems--she dies her hair neon blue, wears very short skirts, and hates her parents. The obvious cure is for her to run away from home.

From there, things get conplicated. And very interesting. Charles de Lint has done an excellant job of writting an unpredicable novel here that will not allow you to set it down. I think it is aimed at a younger reading audience, but I liked it too.
I sat down to read this book, and finished it in one sitting. it was a quick read, but an enjoyable one. T.J., fourteen and newly moved to the suburbs from the city, and having a hard time dealing with giving up her horse, Red, meets Elizabeth, a seventeen year-old, six inch tall girl. Elizabeth is a Little, and running away from her family because they don't understand her (typical teenage behavoir). T.J. and Elizabeth encounter several new beings and make friends and enemies along the way.
I thought the development of the two girls was great, as well as the introduction of magical characters like gnomes, fairies, and the Rat King. I felt that some of the other characters were a little lacking, especially Geoff and Sheri. But the plot moved along at a good pace, and it was great to see T.J. and Elizabeth grow-they were both very believable characters. This is a good book for anyone who enjoys young adult fiction, as well as modern fantasy.
