(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Iacopo Bruno. Liza senses something is different about her brother. Sure enough, his soul has been taken by spiderlike spindlers; Liza embarks on a journey underground to save him. She befriends a giant rat named Mirabella and encounters a variety of fantastical creatures, both friend and foe. Oliver's quest story treads some familiar territory, but imaginative elements throughout make the tale her own.
