Glimmerglass is a novel written by Jenna Black. The book focuses on reality and a magical world called Fearie.
The story is about a teenage girl called Dana Hathaway. Her father left her mother when she was born, and her mother is an alcoholic. They have to keep moving from town to town to ‘get away from her father’ since her mother believes he is after Dana. Dana’s mother has a habit of embarrassing Dana by being drunk all the time so one day Dana decides to leave home to find her father. She then ends up at a place called Avalon, which is the only place where Earth and the world of Fearie connect. She then finds out she is a being called a Faeriewalker, which is a person who can freely travel between both worlds. She is then thrown into a life of magical politics, magic, and different types of relationships she’s never had before. With all these things happening around her she finds it hard to trust even the people around her.
The audience intended for this book would be teenage girls (13+), since they would find themselves somewhat similar to Dana since she deals with relationships in family and romance. The storyline is very good and addicting and characters and places are wonderfully described.
The book is also the first in a series of two books at the moment – the second book being called Shadowspell. This book focuses on a challenge Dana faces with her Faeriewalker status and is just as brilliant as the first book.
