I cannot say I truly enjoyed this book. It was boring at times and though full of wonderful details, none of them added anything to the story in my opinion. We know Callie has features of both white and black, she talks about how coarse her hair is plenty to get the point across. But we really never...
This is one of those DNF cases for me where I don't feel like rating the book makes a lot of sense. I mean, it wasn't a bad book, I just didn't connect with it at all for some reason. It didn't grab me, and I don't really know why.
An ambitious and mostly successful combination of magical adventure and historical novel, this story of a half fairy girl set during the dust bowl years really brings that era to life with lively jazz clubs, deserted towns, racial inequities, and mountain high clouds of swirling, smothering dust. Th...
And then I read Dust Girl, which is quite different in that it takes place in Kansas in the 1930s. And I love the world that Sarah Zettel created–the sense of the suffocating dust, the creepiness of the monsters. I like the characters too, and the way Zettel interweaves Callie’s different identities...
I'm not sure what it is with fae lore that makes me love it so, so much. I don't feel the same when reading about vampires or angels or zombies. It's like the fae have some supernatural pull on me. The illusions, the bitter sweet stories, the otherworldliness... Fae lore has everything to make a won...

So many possibilities for future books.-Most unique take on fairies I've seen in awhile.-backdrop of depression dust bowl was very good. since...

Living in the Dust Bowl in Kansas, Callie is in search for her mother, and father, after the worst dust storm ever. Filled with many twists and unique elements, Dust Girl is a story for the fantas...
3.5 starsDust Girl started out full of action, eerie voices, beautiful writing and an awesome heroine but unfortunately it didn't stick till the very ending. I loved the new intake on the fairy lore and the way the author described everything made me truly believe I was with Callie in the Dust Bowl ...
I’m sorry, Dust Girl. I’m sorry I expected you to be boring. Can you ever forgive me for my poor judgment? You’re an engaging, vibrant, and original story with prose that sets the scene perfectly. You captured the suffocating sand-and-sting of a dust storm, the mind-muddling powers of the Unseelie C...
3.5 stars *This ARC was kindly provided to me by Random House Children's Books through Netgalley.com*When I was younger, my favorite subject to learn about in history was the Dust Bowls. I'm not entirely sure why, but the subject has always intrigued me. I read a Dear America book set in the Dust Bo...
