(3) 4-6 Poisons of Caux series. Illustrated by Andrea Offermann. In this trilogy ender, Ivy Manx's scattered allies regroup to unseat the corrupt Director (Ivy's father) and restore peace to Caux. Ivy's ragtag army of birds and scarecrows pits itself against poison, shifting alliances, and prophecy in this richly described fantasy. The plot's brief fragments of action weave together in a dense and rewarding narrative.
