Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Oh, crap, don't swat me." Those are the first words spoken by Elizabeth, a six-inch-tall, sarcastic "Little," upon meeting 14-year-old T.J., a soft-spoken goody-two-shoes. T.J. feels depressed because she has to give up her beloved horse when her family moves to the suburbs of De Lint's (The Blue Girl) mythical town of Newford. Elizabeth has family troubles of her own-she has run away, and shortly after she meets T.J., her parents and siblings disappear. Together, the girls set out to speak with Sheri Piper, a local children's book author who has written about Littles (and who previously appeared in De Lint's short story collection, Triskell Tales 2). But their plan is interrupted when a gang of bullies steals T.J.'s backpack with Elizabeth inside. The narrative alternates between the girls' perspectives, as Elizabeth uncovers information about her family history and T.J. attempts to connect with Sheri Piper. Although the two protagonists could not be more different in terms of temperament (not to mention size), by book's end they've both matured into winsome heroines. A sprinkling of pop culture references can feel jarring, as though the book were trying strenuously to be contemporary. However, on the whole, De Lint's latest-which he based on a short story that appeared in last year's Firebirds Rising anthology-adeptly braids the fantastic and the everyday. Ages 12-up. (Sept.)

From The Critics
Yet again de Lint demonstrates his talent for writing that appeals to and respects teen readers. As with The Blue Girl (Viking, 2004/VOYA December 2004), this novel is about friendship-albeit a rather unusual one-as well as the importance of independence and taking charge of life situations. T. J. Moore, almost fifteen, is unhappy with her parents' decision to move from the country to the suburbs of Newford. She had to leave behind her horse and her best friend, and no one cares about how miserable she feels. Then excitement literally crawls out of the woodwork in the form of a six-inch-tall girl, Elizabeth, a "Little" who lives in the walls of T. J.'s house. Elizabeth, sixteen, cannot stand hiding in the walls of her house day after day and longs for excitement. Moreover she longs to fly. Little legend has it that some Littles have learned how to do so. T. J. sets out to help Elizabeth find assistance, and when they are separated accidentally, both have to take independent action. Along the way, both girls learn a lot about themselves and their capabilities. T. J. and Elizabeth are appealing, genuine characters. They start out at opposite ends of the spectrum, with T. J. shy and insecure and Elizabeth overly self-assured, but they learn from and grow toward each other. Although an occasional plot thread gets dropped unexpectedly, the story progresses smoothly, and de Lint's narrative is rich, vivid, and descriptive. Teens unfamiliar with de Lint's work will love this gateway to Newford, and fans will be in line already. Buy two.

    Tough grrls

    I sat down to read this book, and finished it in one sitting. it was a quick read, but an enjoyable one. T.J., fourteen and newly moved to the suburbs from the city, and having a hard time dealing with giving up her horse, Red, meets Elizabeth, a seventeen year-old, six inch tall girl. Elizabeth is a Little, and running away from her family because they don't understand her (typical teenage behavoir). T.J. and Elizabeth encounter several new beings and make friends and enemies along the way.
    I thought the development of the two girls was great, as well as the introduction of magical characters like gnomes, fairies, and the Rat King. I felt that some of the other characters were a little lacking, especially Geoff and Sheri. But the plot moved along at a good pace, and it was great to see T.J. and Elizabeth grow-they were both very believable characters. This is a good book for anyone who enjoys young adult fiction, as well as modern fantasy.

    Little Grrl Lost

    I thought the characters where very well developed and personally I absolutely loved Elizabeth! The story was also very realistic and believable... even for a fairy tale!

    Charles de Lint once said, "The fey wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them."

    Magical Folk are very particular who they appear to and not every Tom, Dick, or Mary can see them.

    T.J., in LITTLE (GRRL) LOST, has the sight.

    Scritch, scritch, scritch.....

    T.J. has been hearing that sound for days now as she lay in her bed at night. Each time she turns on her light to investigate, the noises stop. She hopes its not mice making the racket. It didn't sound like mice and when she leaned her ear up against the baseboard she thought she actually heard....voices. Crazy, huh?

    But then the impossible happened -- a door in the wall suddenly opened, splashing a stream of light, and out walked a little girl with bright blue hair and a dufflebag slung over her shoulder. She looked to be about six inches tall. Her parents were demanding that she come back this instant.

    T.J. thought she was dreaming, but yet she was wide awake and this little girl was talking to her. She had a huge attitude, making her seem much taller than her six inches. It turned out that they had a lot in common and that night was the start of a friendship.

    With two plots running, the main lesson learned from this story is that it doesn't matter if you are a Little or a Big, learning about yourself is a growing process that at times takes you on journeys you never would have imagined.

    I didn't read much fantasy until a student put one of Charles de Lint's books in my hand - from that moment on I was hooked. His work (at least the ones I have read) I find to be engaging and easy to read. LITTLE (GRRL) LOST, his newest offering, is no exception. I finished it within a couple of hours. I think what I like most about his work is that it is not hardcore dark fantasy. Instead, it is contemporary fiction with all of the fantastical elements needed to be considered a fantasy selection - fairies, gnomes, goblins, and other magical creatures.
