(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jeff Crosby. This story, based on an ancient account by Livy, tells of a young Roman girl who, held captive by the Etruscans, leads forty girls to escape and later devises a plan to free an equal number of boys. Though courageous and quick-thinking, Cloelia remains a rather remote figure in a concisely written text that's accompanied by somewhat static illustrations.
