(2) 4-6 On tour in preindustrial Campania, Lidi, a gifted young magician, gathers a trio of companions: loyal Jericho, her "canvasmaster"; orphan Daniella, a seven-year-old seer; and Julian, bent on avenging the injustices of a merciless landlord. Serious issues add weight to a story in which colorful, broadly drawn characters engage in witty dialogue while deftly pursuing their goals and assimilating life's subtler lessons.
