84. Stardust


By Neil Gaiman
Rated 4 Stars

In the 18-century village of Wall dwells young Tristran Thorn, whose parentage is both human and faerie. This is the tale of Tristran's quest for a fallen star, his crossing into a world beyond the wall, and the discovery of his faerie bloodline.

In other words it's a 238 page fairy tale. This is not a YA book but it certainly could be. It has a couple of dark moments but so do all fairy tales. Overall it's a very swet story, wel written with a little sly humor woven in.
