Illustrated by
Linda Graves.
While traveling to Denmark with her pet white bear, Halva comes to the rescue of poor Gusterson, whose house is invaded every Christmas Eve by trolls. Details abound in the pastel, colored-pencil, and watercolor illustrations, including intricate embroidery-like patterns and a varied--and frightful--tribe of trolls. Yolen's introductory note discusses her sources.

Katie Lynn Cookie Company series.
Illustrated by
Linda Dockey Graves.
Katie Lynn's baking-impaired parents drive her and her friend Tina to make their own cookies, which are so delicious a restaurant contracts for regular deliveries. Predictably, the girls become overwhelmed, but the ever-resourceful Katie Lynn has an idea. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings, the story is no surprise and characters are one-dimensional, but the light tone is entertaining.
