    While breezing into the children&#;s room at the Oakland branch of the Carnegie Library, headed for the juvenile fiction with Moomins on my mind, the pretty cover of this book stopped me in my tracks. Lee White&#;s work is bound to do that, with its glowing colors, but the black and white illustrations that fill I Lived on Butterfly Hill seemed especially luminous. A flip through the book and a glance at the plot &#; a girl leaves troubled Chile and travels to the coast of Maine &#; was enough to make me wedge it under my arm. I got round to reading it over a long weekend spent in Ohio at the Sky Cabin.

    Celeste loves living in Valparaíso. She loves the steep hills above the sea, covered in colorful houses. She loves the pelicans that fly past the window of her blue room every morning.

    Description

    "A weird, sardonic delight with the shape of an allegory and the heart of a joyful song." --Brenna Yovanoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Replacement

    In this brilliantly written tragicomedy from acclaimed Morris finalist Len Vlahos comes a story about a girl whose dying father does the unthinkable--puts his life up for auction online.

    Thorn Jack: A Night and Nothing Novel
    1) I sometimes wish Thorn Jack's subtitle could be Thorn Jack: It's Not Twilight (No offense to the lovely Stephanie Meyers, who also touched on the Beauty and the Beast trope)

    2) HallowHeart College: The more eccentric classes were inspired by actual courses from colleges. (At least I didn't use the Buffy the Vampire Slayer course)Since the dean and a select group of professors know about the Fatas, some of the courses were designed to instruct the students on otherworldly subjects.
    The characters are freshman, one summer removed from being high school seniors. There are mean girls and idiots in college. Some of them are in sororities and fraternities.

    3) Moving to a New Town: Although it's a well-worn trope, I wanted a fish-out-of-water story. I love it when a character is discovering their surroundings and everything is new.

    4) The Demon Lover: Jack begins as the elf knight, the fairy tale beast, the dang
