(4) YA Everything changes for teen singer-songwriter Fred Allen when he falls in love with Aja, a new girl from Brazil who appears to have the ability to heal physical and psychological injuries. The story is essentially a two-dimensional ode to the manic pixie dream girl, but readers who have recently discovered magical realism may appreciate this philosophical take on the genre.
