review 1: I'm not usually a fan of historical fiction, nor urban fantasy, but I am a fan of atmospheric storytelling and YA, coming of age stories. Dust Girl has atmosphere in spades: I was transported to depression-era speakeasies and hobo camps along with Callie and Jack. I could hear the music even without the appendix of recommended listening, and see the Jazz era club unfold in my mind. The characters took a bit of time to develop and grab me, but I don't fault that in the first book of a trilogy. Starting #2 tonight and can't wait for the third.
review 2: Dust Girl...Callie is a bi-racial girl pretending to be white on a farm with her mother in 1930s Kansas, right in the middle of the worst of the dust bowl. Unbeknownst to her, she is also not completely human, wh... moreich she finds out when her mom allows her to play on her long lost dad's piano and everything in her world changes. Callie's mom disappears, and she is left on her own in a world suddenly full of "other" people who have now recognized her as one of their own.....and perhaps the person to fulfill a prophecy of great import.......Callie is determined to find and rescue her mom and is accompanied by a young man, Jack that she meets along the way. I really enjoyed this story and it's mixing of historical truths set in reality and magical beings getting along right under everyone's noses......it reminded me very much of American Gods by Neal Gaiman.....loved it SO much! less
