A very enjoyable, vampire-free novel about Dani Callanzo's coming to terms with her parents' divorce, mostly by distracting herself with the strange behavior of her town's teen-aged film projectionist. With so many distractions available to them in other media, I wonder if teenagers will ever again have a believable appreciation of Rita Hayworth and Lana Turner as Dani does here, but Nova Ren Suma makes small-town life and its minor dramas both realistic and enjoyable for as long as the ride lasts.
