 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Written by hardboiled detective author Lawrence Block and marketed as a horror novel, Ariel is a very subtle story about the scapegoating of a "different" child, communication failure and the destruction of a family, with supernatural elements crawling in at the windows.Ariel Jardell is thirteen years old and a bit too perceptive for her own good. Now that her mom Roberta has had a child of her own, she's ready to dispose of Ariel, and Ariel knows it. Her father David is well aware the little boy, Caleb, is not his and that Roberta has been seeing an old boyfriend, lawyer Jeff Channing. One night, Roberta has a strange dream, and wakes to find that Caleb has suddenly died. And Ariel takes one look at her and says Is Caleb dead?....

 Bookworm: Ariel. She's got all the Oz books, plus young-adult novels, and cites several books she loved but didn't finish, including Rosalyn Drexler's I Am The Beautiful Stranger. She's also read at least some of Moby-Dick and actually did finish Poe's The Purloined Letter, which is where she gets the idea to keep her diary in a school notebook. (She talks about knowing better than to keep it in one of those My Secret Thoughts books around Roberta.) Sylvia Plath and her book Ariel are mentioned several times.

 Absentminded Professor: Mr. Wold, the father of Ariel's friend Erskine, may be a teacher (as his wife is); certainly he's extremely absent-minded and preoccupied. When Erskine half-jokingly suggests Ariel move in with him to avoid leaving the neighborhood, he claims "My father could live in the same house with you and never notice you were there. At dinner you could ask him to pass the salt and he'd pass it and still not notice."
