(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Tom Pohrt. A mole, who has magically gained immortality and the capacity for human speech, encounters two humans: Mr. Franklin, a scientist, wants to study the mole; Bet, a lonely, thoughtful child, wants to make a friend. The mole simply wants to lose the burden of immortality. Lyrical, bittersweet, and bracingly unsentimental, the story contains a complicated, satisfying plot.
