(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Victor Ambrus & Victor Ambrus. In the course of pursuing her scoffed-at goals of visiting the faraway mountain, meeting a gargoyle, and marrying a prince, Dakin befriends a troll, vanquishes an ogre, frees the mountain from evil, and finds true love in an unexpected place. The novel, first published more than twenty-five years ago, still seems fresh, and the simple pen-and-ink illustrations add fairy-tale appeal.
