INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Fletcher, Susan

Falcon in the Glass

(2) 4-6 In fifteenth-century Venice, Renzo strives to become a glassmaker's apprentice. His efforts are complicated by the mysterious homeless children whom he secretly shelters in the glassmaker's shop. Inexplicably attended by various birds, they--and their grandmother, imprisoned in the dungeon of the Doge's palace--are threatened with execution as witches. Fletcher spins a tale enriched with vibrant characters and an authentic setting.
