OLDER FICTION
Block, Francesca Lia

The Waters & the Wild

(4) YA Thirteen-year-old Bee doesn't feel like she fits in and begins to wonder if she's a changeling. She befriends, and brings together, geeky Haze, who thinks he's an alien, and overweight Sarah, who believes she's a reincarnated slave girl. The love story is touching, but Block's particular blend of fantasy and realism is, unexpectedly, a bit less magical than usual here.
