Dust Girl
Dust Girl | Sarah Zettel
3 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
This new trilogy will capture the hearts of readers who adore Libba Bray's "The Diviners." Callie LeRoux lives in Slow Run, Kansas, helping her mother run their small hotel and trying not to think about the father she's never met. Lately all of her energy is spent battling the constant storms plaguing the Dust Bowl and their effects on her health. Callie is left alone, when her mother goes missing in a dust storm. Her only hope comes from a mysterious man offering a few clues about her destiny and the path she must take to find her parents in "the golden hills of the west" (California). Along the way she meets Jack a young hobo boy who is happy to keep her company--there are dangerous, desperate people at every turn. And there's also an otherworldly threat to Callie. Warring fae factions, attached to the creative communities of American society, are very aware of the role this half-mortal, half-fae teenage girl plays in their fate.

A bit torn on this one. Dust Girl takes place in
Kansas in 1935 during the worst dust storm in history. Callie learns she‘s not fully human and we enter the world of the fae. Callie and Jack make a good team, though their friendship does get a bit strained as they try to achieve separate goals. Race, gender, and anti-semitism are brought up as well.

It takes place in Kansas during the Dirty 30s. So yeah, there's going to be a lot of #DustInTheWind. #RockInMay
