About This Book:

Title: Dingo

Synopsis
Laced with Australian Aboriginal myths, magic, and fantasy, Charles de Lint's young adult novel is one part fantasy adventure, one part love story. High school senior Miguel is sick of minding his dad's music and comics store, but when exotic Lainey walks in with an honest-to-goodness dingo, everything shifts. Soon, Miguel is helping Lainey escape from ancient magics, and finds himself falling in love. Seventeen-year-old Miguel Schreiber and a long-term enemy are drawn into a strange dream world when they fall in love with shapeshifting sisters from Australia--twins hiding from a cursed ancestor who can only be freed with the girls' cooperation.

Industry Reviews
"Featuring simplified versions of its author's signature story elements--likable, if flawed protagonists, well-developed contemporary locales and the introduction of potent mythic characters directly into our world--this novella succeeds in its own right...."
