Neil Gaiman wrote "Blueberry Girl" for a friend who was about to become the mother of a little girl. He has turned the deeply personal wish for a daughter into a book that celebrates the glory of growing up. Illustrated throughout with gorgeous art by Charles Vess, whose work can also be seen in Susanna Clarke's "The Ladies of Grace Adieu".
I had much higher expectations. I wanted to give this as a gift to an 8-year old, but since the book doesn't really have much of a plot, I doubt she'll know what to do with it. Probably not gonna give it to her.
