  <default-description>When fourteen-year-old TJ and her family are forced to move from their farm to the suburbs she has to give up her beloved horse, Red, but she makes a surprising new friend. Elizabeth is a Little, a six-inch-high punked-out teen with an attitude, who has run away from home to make her way in the world. TJ and Elizabeth&amp;#151;the Big and the Little&amp;#151;soon become friends, but each quickly finds herself in a truly life-threatening situation, and they are unable to help each other. &lt;i&gt;Little (Grrl) Lost&lt;/i&gt; is a delightful combination of realism, magic, humor, and hope, and is sure to win Charles de Lint many new teen and adult fans.

&quot;The [Newford] books have all been written in such a way that you should be able to pick up any one and get a full and complete story. However, characters do reoccur, off center stage as it were, and their stories do follow a sequence.&quot; </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Two displaced teens who feel they fit nowhere.  Who can't relate?  It's a story about finding out who you are, what you can do if you try, what strength you have deep inside that you didn't know about, and finding a place - even in unlikely locations.  Both of the characters -Elizabeth &amp; TJ- encount...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59168750">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this, it was okay. But a little derivative, not as dynamic as I am used to from Mr. De Lint. Maybe it was because I read I was a Teenage Fairy by Francesca Lia Block directly prior to this book--and they sort of melded into one beast in my mind, even though the writing styles of each are ent...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48778011">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I started off pretty disappointed in this, just because it dragged along so much and I really didn't care much for the main character. On one hand, de Lint's novel is about a young girl (14-15) learning to stand up for herself (not to mention a lecture, because his novels do get pretty preachy, abou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6388410">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This young adult novel is a quick read and is one of the most enjoyable books by de Lint that I've read in a long while.  He deals with typical adolescent themes via the device of a &quot;Little&quot;, a 6-inch tall race of people who share our world but remain mostly out of sight.  The protagonist,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42552247">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had high hopes for this book, because THE BLUE GIRL was one of my favorite reads a few years back and this looked to be more of the same. And on many levels it was: there are plenty of cool characters, lots of the little details that make the Newford setting so vivid, and De Lint's delightful pros...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48860150">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is for a slightly younger audience than most YA fiction I read, but it is definitely a good fit for pre-teens, most likely. It's kind of the Borrowers meets Punky Brewster - fun, funky, a little magical - overall a good read.]]></body>
