Andromeda Klein has a few problems.
Her hair is kind of horrible.
Her partner-in-occultism, Daisy, is dead.
Her secret, estranged, much older and forbidden boyfriend-in-theory, has gone AWOL.
And her mother has learned how to text.
In short, things couldn't get much worse. Until they do. Daisy seems to be attempting to make contact from beyond, books are starting to disappear from the library, and then, strangely and suddenly, Andromeda's tarot readings are beginning to predict events with bizarrely literal accuracy.
Omens are everywhere. Dreams; swords; fires; hidden cards; lost, broken, and dead cell phones . . . and what is Daisy trying to tell her?
In the ensuing struggle of neutral versus evil, it's Andromeda Klein against the world, modern society, demonic forces, and the "friends" of the library.
From Frank Portman, author of King Dork, comes another unique literary experience. Andromeda Klein is dark, funny, smart, and entirely unforgettable.

Andromeda Klein
In all honesty, I really can't recommend this book in good faith. However, for my part, I'm such an easy critic that it really grew on me. Even so, a book that takes until halfway through to really get moving and only really comes together at the last chapters has some problems in the workings.
Andromeda Klein tells the story of a misunderstood teenage girl who is obsessed with Tarot cards and the occult. Her life is falling apart at the seams. Her best friend died while she was on a family trip, her much-older boyfriend has lost interest in her and the library is weeding out all her favorite books. And now, she is receiving odd signs in her Tarot readings and from the world around her. What does it all mean, and what is the universe trying to tell her? You'll have to slog through the book to find out.
Andromeda Klein read more like a blog, based on the rate it told the story. It was very slow moving, and heavy on character inside jokes based on the main characters mis-hearings of words. However, the book is very well researched and packed with names, dates, references and lexicons to all things magic. I enjoyed the story by the end, but most readers will have closed this book long before the chapters reach the double digits.
