INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Ibbotson, Eva

The Star of Kazan

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. Annika has been raised by cook Ellie and housekeeper Sigrid, but despite her love for her adoptive family, Annika is thrilled when an aristocratic woman shows up to claim her as her daughter. Ibbotson's latest has all the eventfulness of a Victorian orphan adventure and is shot through with good-humored matter-of-factness, and especially with Ibbotson's affection for her setting--1908 Vienna.
