(2) YA Fourteen-year-old thief Mitra and her brother, Babak, join the magus Melchior's caravan bound for Bethlehem, where a child has been born in a stable. Fletcher keeps the scale human, sticking to Mitra's point of view. Written in a natural first-person voice, this well-shaped historical novel brings a new perspective to an ancient story.
