Rhinoa, I will — The Blue Girl, The Onion Girl, and Little Grrl Lost are the ones I’m thinking about. Thanks for the rec!

And, if you want an adult novel by him, try The Onion Girl. Really good book! I read a few books by him a couple years ago, but my reintroduction was The Blue Girl and then The Onion Girl.

I really hope you do try CDL again. Little Grrl Lost is excellent as well as The Blue Girl which are both YA fantasy fiction. Waifs and Strays is an excellent collection of his short stories spanning his career that I adored and was an excellent introduction.

Have you tried “Little (Grrl) Lost” yet? It is pretty good. It isn’t very gritty (in my opinion). The main characters are teenagers and though there is a bit of conflict, it isn’t over the top. It is the only De Lint book I’ve read so far but it has hooked me and made me want to read more of his work.
