(4) 4-6 Girls of Many Lands series. Twelve-year-old Saba and her older brother, who have been raised by their grandparents in remote, rural Ethiopia, are kidnapped and thrown into the chaos of nineteenth-century court life. Though events sometimes seem a bit contrived, Saba is a compelling character, and the historical details are interesting. A note about Ethiopia, "then and now," is appended. Glos.
