->''"It's funny. Tonight's the first time in a long while that I'm not nervous about going to bed. I'm actually looking forward to that weird music and seeing Pelly. No. I'm counting on seeing him. But as soon as I start to drift off, the shadows pull loose from the corners of my room, and I jerk awake."''
-->--'''Imogene'''

The Blue Girl is a novel written by Creator/CharlesDeLint released on October 25, 2004.

Nothing to do with the {{Hentai}} anime ''La Blue Girl''. %%Don't convert La Blue Girl into a link, please

------
!!The series provides examples of the following tropes:
%%* ActionGirl: Imogene. Maxie has a moment or too.
%%* AlphaBitch
%%* BadassNormal: Imogene again. [[spoiler: Apparently she was a part of a gang.]]
* BalancingDeathsBooks: The ghost of a nerdy fellow asks about this, thinking to exchange the life of a bully to save the life of a girl he likes. The guardian angel assigned to him at first thinks he's contemplating a heroic sacrifice before finding the truth, after which he is thoroughly disgusted.
%%* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Guess.
%%* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: YMMV but Adrian's body after he fell from the sky could count as this.]]
%%* ControlFreak: Maxine's Mom, Maxine herself has shades of this.
%%* [[CuteGhostGirl Cute Ghost Boy]]
%%* DeadpanSnarker: Imogene, Maxine has her moments. Adrian, the goblins/hobs/Brownies. Most characters have some snark to them.
%%* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Imogene, Technically.
%%* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Imogene whacks the crap out of [[spoiler: Adrian when he gains a body on Halloween. She's pissed that he brought her to the attention of soul eating {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.]]
%%* EldritchAbomination
* TheFairFolk: The fairies have no sense of empathy and are very mischievous. The ghost in the book was a lonely nerdy boy whom they befriended because he could see them. They told him they would make him able to fly and when he jumps off the school roof they let him fall to his death for their amusement. They don't really understand why he's so mad when he comes back as a ghost. They didn't lie to him, they can actually make him fly and they were doing so but they just decided it would be funny to let him fall..
%%* HandsOffParenting: Imogene's mother likes to be a friend rather than a parent, and was a Hippie and a stoner.
%%* HomeschooledKids: Imogene and her Brother when on the commune.
%%* ImaginaryFriend: Pelly
%%* InvisibleToNormals: The Hobs/Goblins, until Adrian interferes.
* JacobMarleyApparel: Adrian learns from the ghost of a rebellious teenager that he can return to the mortal coil one night per year. Said ghost died in a car crash with a pack of cigarettes on him, which retains the same number of cigs, no matter how many he smokes, and he also keeps his Creator/JamesDean style clothing.
%%* LoveMakesYouDumb: Adrian.
%%* MyBelovedSmother: Maxine's mother is this in spades.
%%* PerkyGoth: Imogene
* RaceAgainstTheClock: [[spoiler: Halloween is the [[IncrediblyLamePun deadline]] for finding a way to save Imogene from the {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.]]
%%* RealityWarper: The [[BuffySpeak angel... medium... Person.]]
%%* ShrinkingViolet: Maxine
%%* ShoutOut: Franchise/HarryPotter and ComicBook/XMen.
%%* StalkerWithACrush: Adrian, in spades.
%%* UrbanFantasy
