Editorial Review
High school senior Miguel’s life is turned upside down when he meets new girl Lainey, whose family has just moved from Australia. With her tumbled red-gold hair, her instant understanding of who he is, and her unusual dog—a real Australian dingo—she’s unforgettable. And, as he quickly learns, she is on the run from an ancient bargain made by her ancestors. There’s no question that Miguel will do whatever he can to help her—but what price will each of them have to pay? Dingo is quintessential Charles de Lint, set close to his beloved, invented city of Newford—a mixture of darkness and hope, humor and mystery, and the friendship within love.

Masterful Storytelling

2008-04-27
Miguel was working in his father's record and comic book shop when a beautiful red head named Lainey and her strange dog walked into his life and changed it forever.

This novella is the first offering that I have read from author Charles De Lint and it certainly won't be the last. Dingo is an expertly crafted and unique story. The pacing is fairly quick and consistent throughout the book. You never feel bogged down with needless details or dialogue that add little to the story. It's clear that each word was carefully chosen. This makes for a quick read that feels like a full length novel.

Something I particularly enjoyed in this book was the Australian folklore. That is part of what makes this book unique. It was all new and fresh to me and added a lot of style to an already incredible story.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for something fresh and exciting with a good helping of magic and romance thrown in. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Another Wonderful tale

2008-04-05
Once again another wonderfully written story by Charles De Lint. I have to say I'm never disappointed when I read any of his books and I've been reading them for years. It doesn't matter if they were written for kids or adults they're all great. I recommend him to everyone, once you start you can't stop. The characters are just wonderful, you fall in love the moment you meet them, the locations are magic. I love how he describes and manages the meld the cross over from fantasy to reality, the blend is perfect, seamless. You don't know where one begins and the other ends. I catch myself wondering more about the things I encounter and can't explain and think, if only... You won't be disappointed with any of his books, you'll enjoy them for a long time.
