(3) 4-6 Poisons of Caux series. Illustrated by Jennifer Taylor. Ivy lives in a "poison or be poisoned" society. Her uncle, an apotheopath, disappears after a visit to the wicked king, leaving Ivy to venture out to find him--and save the entire kingdom. Appelbaum has created a wildly inventive, fully realized, and mysterious world. Taylor's eerie green-and-white illustrations help readers visualize some of the story's fantastical details.
