(4) YA In a futuristic celebrity-obsessed society, practical-minded misfit Jet accompanies her shallow family to "movie capital" Ollywood, where she and her faithful robot dog, Otis, are sucked into a bizarre fantasy dimension of failed B-movies and TV pilots. The plot and setting are innovative and the protagonists dryly sympathetic, but Lee too often puts metaphor and satire ahead of story.

(3) YA A fall unearths Art's hidden memories of her mother's death and their pirate life. Art reassembles her mother's colorful crew and returns to the sea, but a hidden twist (her mother and crew were only actors who played pirates) quickly provides humorous adventures and memorable challenges. Some scenes require serious stretches of the imagination, but on Art's strong shoulder's the novel stays afloat.

(4) YA Claidi Journals series. The final book in the series manages to tie together the adventures from the first two, even as Claidi's experiences, while seeking the man she loves, take further bizarre twists and turns. The book doesn't stand on its own, and because the plot features larger than life characters and spins quickly from one fantastic occurrence to another, it often stretches credibility. Even so, Claidi's fans will find the resolution satisfying.

(4) YA Claidi Journals series. In this sequel to Wolf Tower, Claidi is snatched away on the morning of her wedding and taken to a bizarre palace built in a cliff. Claidi's account of her adventures is often choppy and unorganized, which reflects her mental state but does not make for easy or comfortable reading. The book refers constantly to events from the first book without explaining them and therefore does not stand well alone.

(4) YA Claidi jumps at the chance to escape from lifelong servitude, even though it means entering the Waste. She must decide who to trust, as she encounters bandits and other strangers while led through the harsh country by a handsome young man. Set in a parallel world, the novel, which is written as Claidi's journal, contains some interesting characters and events; but the writing style is rather disjointed and the ending underdeveloped.
