Blue van Meer, Special Topics in Calamity Physics
The protagonist of Marisha Pessl’s debut novel is the daughter of a highfalutin professor — which might explain why she’s such a wordsmith and fount of cultural, and especially filmic, knowledge. Blue’s trove of cinematic wisdom comes into play when our geeky heroine enrolls in St. Gallway School, falls in with an elite cadre of rich kids and their charismatic teacher, and the book transforms into a murder mystery.
