The blue girl

The Blue Girl is set in the fictional city of Newford, a recurring setting in many of Charles de Lint's works. While it features new characters and a self-contained story, readers familiar with de Lint's Newford universe will recognize the urban fantasy elements and the blend of folklore with contemporary life that characterize his other books set there.

The Blue Girl tells a complete story within its pages, focusing on Imogene's journey and the resolution of the supernatural threat she faces. While it exists within the broader Newford universe, it does not require prior reading of other books by Charles de Lint to be fully understood or enjoyed.
