(3) K-3 Illustrated by Allen Garns. Jean would much rather live in a proper house in Adelaide with her grandparents than underground in the Australian opal mine where her father works; when she finds a large precious stone in an unusual place, her wish comes true. Garns's pastel illustrations are surrounded by backgrounds of earthy-brown, echoing the underground setting.
