(3) 4-6 Longburrow series. Illustrated by David Wyatt. A mysterious hooded bard enters a warren on a wintry night and spins a tale of Podkin, a spoiled little rabbit who becomes a reluctant hero. With its distinct storyteller's voice, tight pacing, and detailed full-spread illustrations, this engaging animal fantasy (first in a series) will immediately draw readers into an intricate world populated with imperfect heroes and warped villains.

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by David Wyatt. In Reeve's third space-opera satire set in a Victorian Britain that has colonized space, the universe is once more under siege. Enterprising young lad Art and his (less proper) sister Myrtle share the narrative duties as they brave peril, brainwashing, and flare-propelled pulpits. Wyatt's sharply defined spot art enhances the strangeness, humor, and dynamism of Reeve's singular universe.

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by David Wyatt. Art and Myrtle (Larklight) discover that Britain is being invaded by futuristic shapeshifters. The siblings reunite with pirate-turned-British-agent Jack Havock and are off to save the galaxy. Art and Myrtle are delightfully bombastic and vehemently British. The depths of dramatic tension work as counterpoint to the outlandish comedy, heightening humor and peril. Wyatt's meticulously detailed illustrations fill in any gaps.

(1) 4-6 Illustrated by David Wyatt. Art and his prim sister live in an alternate nineteenth century in which Britain has colonized the solar system. When elephant-sized space-spiders attack their home, the siblings must stiff-upper-lip their way through the ensuing adventure. Capturing both the pathos and humor of every absurd situation, Reeve offers a genre-defying work that melds deadpan comedy, political satire, sci-fi epic, and pirate caper.

(4) 4-6 Eaglesmount Trilogy series. Illustrated by David Wyatt. This concluding volume in the trilogy brings Vair, the heroic pine marten, and his friends into conflict with the evil Lord Owl, only to discover an even greater danger waiting at Owlswater. There's little character depth but enough satisfying adventure to entertain readers not yet ready for Redwall. Serviceable black-and-white illustrations accompany the text.

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by David Wyatt. A clever girl, a ghost pony, a bloody family history, a rich American, and a stormy Scottish landscape--the elements are all present for an exciting adventure. But in the rush to reach the action-packed climax, necessary background information is only sketchily mentioned. The engaging, detailed descriptions of the horses and riding scenes stand in sharp contrast. Attractive drawings illustrate the book.

(4) 4-6 Eaglesmount Trilogy series. Illustrated by David Wyatt. This solid animal story focuses on Vair, a young pine marten who must find his family, escape the evil fox Ragnar, and try to keep the silver horn away from Ragnar and the hypnotically evil Lord Owl. The conclusion of this volume leaves room for its forthcoming sequels. While predictable and lacking the distinction of Brian Jacques's Redwall series, this is an entertaining fantasy.
