Gr 8 Up-On Sophie Blue's 17th birthday, a nurse at her father's lab gave her a mysterious injection and her father disappeared, leaving behind a swirl of rumors about what really happened to Sophie, who has gone Goth. A year later, she has strange dreams that involve being smashed by a Popsicle truck, hears a constant hum ("gotothelabgotothelabgotothelab"), and copes with her comics-obsessed and increasingly obese younger brother O. S., as well as her out-to-lunch mom. Kenny Fade, basketball star and school heartthrob, also hears and sees bizarre things and, like Sophie, fears for his sanity. And his mother is a nurse! "Fade to Blue" takes off with a crunch (that Popsicle truck!) and careens wildly to a thought-provoking screecher of an ending in a manic rampage of plot twists, crazy characters, dark comedy, and virtual reality taken to the extreme. A fast, highly entertaining read, this novel will appeal to graphic-novel enthusiasts, techies, and anyone looking for a cleverly written, inventive romp in which every detail counts."Joyce Adams Burner, National Archives at Kansas City, MO"

Grades 8-11 To begin with, theplot of Beaudoins novel is indescribable, perhaps even incomprehensible, but deviously suggestive and, put simply, absolutely, frustratingly engrossing (which may not necessarily be a good thing). It revolves around a goth girl named Sophie Blue, a dreamy jock named Kenny Fade, and a laboratory that may be injecting kids with software code. Also, theres aice creamtruck that repeatedly kills Sophie; multiple skips between various levels of reality and virtual worlds; and a neat introduction of a comic book thateither explains everything or draws readers off into another detour. What this all boils down to is a stylishly outfitted, bafflingly structuredhead trip that's quite funny, occasionally poignant, andsince you wont understand what youre not supposed to understand, itll definitely keep you guessing. Answers? Define answers. Beaudoins written either a slim Infinite Jest for teens, or pure gibberish. So expect cultish adoration or hostile dismissal, with little in between.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2009, American Library Association.)
