(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Andrew McLean. An impatient but goodhearted queen longs to taste a melidrop, a tropical fruit that rots within a day. Bartlett, a truth-speaking explorer, agrees to take on the quest and ends up harnessing an iceberg to his ship to keep the fruit from spoiling. A harmonious integration of varied settings and characters, plus suspenseful adventures and choices, makes this a pleasing and entertaining read.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
