(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. The invented country of Bergania provides the setting for this WWII adventure. Tally's school group performs at Bergania's international dance exhibition. There, Tally, an unsinkable heroine, helps rescue the crown prince from the Nazis. Each character in this deftly constructed tale is a gem, and the plottings, near escapes, secret identities, and ethical dilemmas are decorated with wry, confident humor.
