(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jensine Eckwall. While investigating his mysterious heritage with the help of a tricky goblin, a nameless boy fleeing slavery becomes an unlikely hero. He rescues two dragon-imprisoned girls named Alice--one a clever peasant, the other a socially minded princess. The first few chapters of this quirky tale feel disconnected, but once the story lines converge, the result is a witty fairy-tale satire.
