INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Jones, Diana Wynne

The Islands of Chaldea

(2) 4-6 Completed by Ursula Jones. Diana Wynne Jones's humor, insight, and brisk, inventive style shine in this posthumously published novel. Aileen is embarrassed when she fails her Wise Woman initiation. She discovers her own powers on a quest with her Wise Aunt Beck, a prince, and his attendant through the islands of Chaldea. Jones's imaginative vigor is unabated in this last, picaresque novel.
