Saving the Griffin

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Yoshiko Jaeggi. While on vacation with their family in Tuscany, Kate and her brother Michael discover a baby griffin. He needs their help, but what are they trying to save him from--their annoying older brother, the paparazzi, nosy scientists, or the griffin's own family? Perceptive characterization, strong sense of place, and a realistic family dynamic make this sweetly old-fashioned E. Nesbit–style fantasy successful.
