(2) YA Illustrated by Ted Naifeh. Black's first graphic novel is a goth-faerie mystery/thriller. After Rue's mother disappears and her father is accused of murder, the truth about Rue's faerie/human blood emerges. This teen identity crisis plays out as a tale of menace and horror; Black's courageous heroine shows that getting through high school is like wrestling with the dark side. A twilit atmosphere suffuses the illustrations.
