Review

"Awash in a bruised and aching adolescent sensibility, Weetzie Bat author Block's new novel doesn't waste a word.Haunting and thought provoking." (Publishers Weekly (starred review) )

"Short enough to be read in one sitting, but nonetheless has an impact that will be felt much longer.perplexing and ethereal." (ALA Booklist )

"Block's trippy poetic prose and magical realism will enthrall her fans." (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) )


Product Description

When Bee woke up, there was a girl standing in her room. "You are me," the girl said. Then she was gone.

I am a thirteen-year-old double Gemini. I get bad grades, write poetry with my left hand, dance in my room, surf the net. I Google images of the tattoos my mom won't let me get. . . .

But my world belongs to someone else. Someone who lives below the concrete of Los Angeles, someone with wild eyes and twigs in her hair.

And I think she wants her life back.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Mars 11 2009
This review is from: The Waters & the Wild (Paperback)
Bee knows that she is different from other teenagers. She has a strange affinity with the earth, dreaming of eating it in handfuls to be more connected to it. Bee feels more at home in her mother's garden rather than at school or with other people. She never has an appetite and sees people for who they are, their true selves.

There is also the matter of her doppelganger. Bee begins to see her, in dreams and during her waking hours. She wants something from Bee; she wants her life back.

Bee has also befriended two outsiders, very much like herself. Haze is a tall, gangly boy who believes he was fathered by aliens. Sarah, with her braided hair and beautiful voice, tells Haze and Bee that she is the reincarnated soul of a slave girl. Neither one of these confessions shocks or mystifies Bee; she simply accepts them to be fact. Their differences make them unique and bring them together.

With the help of her two eccentric friends, Bee finally discovers who she is and where she truly belongs.

I have had the pleasure of reading many of Francesca Lia Block's other novels, and this one seemed different to me. It was easier to connect with the characters in this novel. They felt more "real" to me than in previous works.

Obviously, there is still that element of fantasy, but it doesn't saturate the story. Block has found a perfect balance of reality and fantasy. Fans of fantasy novels will love this book because of its fantastical elements, but those who are looking for a story about a young girl who is discovering her identity will also enjoy it.

Block has a way of crossing many genres and groups of readers; she has certainly done so with THE WATERS AND THE WILD.
