(4) 4-6 In a medieval-flavored colossal city that moves around on wheels, Cymbril is a slave girl. When the city's master buys a Fey boy, Cymbril befriends him and pieces together her own history as they plot their escape. The fairy boy is a bit too all-knowing for true credibility, but this otherwise thoughtful and well-paced story is rich with mystery and magic.
