A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

PRAISE FOR TEEN SPIRIT: “Poetry and pop culture, life and death―these are just two of the polarities that pulse through Block’s elegantly crafted novel. While the spooky goings-on, eerie romance, and magical-hipster Los Angeles setting have broad appeal, the story has even richer treasures in store for readers who dig deeper.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Told in Block’s signature, flowing prose, Teen Spirit is a layered story that’s more about grief than it is about ghosts. A beautiful story from a legendary young adult author.” (School Library Journal)

“Block’s sensual language and strong evocation of place embroider this tale of unresolved grief with an overlay of subtle and delicate creepiness.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

PRAISE FOR PINK SMOG: “Pink Smog sparkles and obscures; it’s a glorious mirage, like the city it pays homage to.” (Maggie Stiefvater, #1 New York Times bestselling author, for the New York Times Book Review)

“An intoxicating mix of mystery, fantasy, and romance told in her signature poetic style.” (Booklist (starred review))

“Newcomers and longtime fans alike will find much to savor” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“A fresh gem.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review))

PRAISE FOR THE FRENZY: “A passionate, dreamy, brief paranormal, with a breath-of-fresh-air monstrous heroine and enjoyably surreal set dressing.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Block puts her own spin on werewolves in this romantic thriller.” (The Horn Book)

PRAISE FOR PRETTY DEAD: “An opulent, surreal world of strange beauty, sudden horror, and lush romance.” (Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author of the Mortal Instruments series)

Quatrième de couverture :

I will stay connected to you when I go..

Julie's life has never been perfect. But she's always been able to deal with it by seeking comfort in her grandmother Miriam's sage advice. Now that Miriam is gone, Julie's entire world is beginning to unravel—her mother loses her job and then their house, and Julie has to start over at a new school. She's desperate to discover a way to keep it all together. Desperate for a way to stay connected to her grandmother.

Then Julie meets Clark. He's clever, awkward, and slightly damaged—just the sort of friend Julie needs right now. One night, the two use a Ouija board that Julie finds in her new house, believing it's a chance to reach out to her grandmother. But when they get a response, it isn't from Miriam. And Julie discovers that while she has been eager to regain her past, Clark is haunted by his. . . .

Critically acclaimed author Francesca Lia Block brings this story about family, loss, and redemption to life with her signature poetic prose.
