(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Rebecca Green. Jean spits up her portion of the town's sacred bear liver (everyone twelve and over "must participate"), setting off a repeat of the mass hibernation that established the tradition and leaving the under-twelves to keep the town going. But is something more sinister happening? Though the premise is entertainingly absurd, the book maintains internal logic and a not-too-wacky tone, leaving space for the mystery; spot art adds atmosphere.
