Title: Great companion to Dicey's Song
Product review: Like Dicey's Song, A Solitary Blue deals with tough subjects many kids deal with in their lives, namely parents' separation and all the feelings that accompany it. Jeff discovers great qualities in himself and his father through a traumatic reunion with the mother who left him years ago.The characters in this series are people who feel like misfits. They all manage to learn to accept and like themselves and find friends without having to sacrifice who they are. My favorite aspect of this series is that reading this book, Dicey's Song, and Come a Stranger, the reader gets the impression that Voigt wrote them all simultaneously. All three contain different characters' experiences of some of the same events in varied degree of detail and fullness depending on the character's involvement in the events.I highly recommend this series for teens and young adults. The books do contain some meaty subject matter, but Voigt handles it sensitively.
