INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 Century Quartet series. Translated by Leah D. Janeczko. Illustrated by Iacopo Bruno. As a new century approaches, circumstance brings a mysterious briefcase into the possession of Harvey, Mistral, Sheng, and Elettra. After its owner is murdered, the four learn they are this century's guardians of the map inside. Though there's not a lot of depth or character development and the present-tense narration is clunky, the story's layers of secrets and cliffhangers create a page-turner.
