INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Hirsch, Odo

Hazel Green

(3) 4-6 Wanting to march in the annual Frogg Day parade, independent thinker Hazel Green unites the other kids and persuades an unfriendly parade organizer to let them participate. A close community, a friendly baker, and an ostracized mathematician help or hinder Hazel's progress. Set in a vaguely European milieu, the story is compelling, the prose crystalline, and the characters uniquely drawn.
