Critical Essay by Kirkus Reviews
346 words, approx. 1 pages
[A Solitary Blue] is the story of Jeff Greene, the guitar-playing high school boy Dicey Tillerman meets in Dicey's Song (1982)—but the connection isn't made until near the end.

But under it all there's a goal of harmony that's eventually realized as Dicey learns what to reach out for and what to g...
