The main character is Melanie Tamaki, aged 14, lives in Canada with her single mother. She is sent on a mission to the Half World to save her mother -- and to fulfill a prophecy to reunite the three worlds that have split apart: the Flesh, the Spirit, and the Half World. It's lovely and creepy and a little harsh -- there's no bending of the universe's rules to help Melanie, though she does find some unexpected allies. It's also one of the few supernatural/paranormal books that doesn't have a main romantic theme (nor a boy rescuing the girl), which I appreciated a lot (especially since the main character is only 14).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-91363956013492108232010-10-23T18:43:53.731-05:002010-10-23T18:43:53.731-05:00Yeah, I don't think there's much of a diff...Yeah, I don't think there's much of a difference between paranormal and supernatural either (although I've heard writers differentiate between urban fantasy and paranormal when querying -- paranormal is supposed to be more romance-centric, I *think*). <br /><br />And thank you for this list! I'm always on the lookout for books this week, and I was lamenting the lack of paranormal/urban fantasy novels featuring poc, so it's nice to have a list (I've really only heard of The Devil's Kiss and Dead Gorgeous, sadly. I wish I could add books to this list). This is an awesome feature -- I'm going to check out the post about poc in boarding school novels as well :DVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844706436726113433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-45571829793930649592010-10-23T04:50:28.692-05:002010-10-23T04:50:28.692-05:00You should also include Lynne Ewing's other se...You should also include Lynne Ewing's other series, SISTERS OF ISIS. Two of the three main girls are POC. (The only downside is that this series got canceled due to low sales, so no closure. Sigh.)<br /><br />Also, if you're in the mood for a POC YA about werewolves, I highly recommend Kristopher Reisz's UNLEASHED!<br /><br />I don't think there's much of a difference between "paranormal" and "supernatural." It's words like "paranormal" and "fantasy" that are more distinct. (I've heard people describe paranormal books as ones that happen in the real word to human people, whereas fantasy books take place in another world with equally fantastical beings/creatures. But then there's urban fantasy, which takes place in the real world, as well as a whole slew of other subgenre names, so I don't think it matters much which word you use. People will get what you mean!)Heather R.
