YOUNGER FICTION
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Celia Kaspar. Ivy and her grandmother, a healer of real and magical creatures, live in an overgrown cottage in the otherwise clean, orderly village of Broomsweep. A kingdom-wide contest for best town leads the angry villagers to insist the pair clean up and get rid of the animals. Likable characters, plentiful black-and-white illustrations, and a happy ending make this a good choice for fantasy-loving young readers.
