INTERMEDIATE FICTION
McGhee, Alison

Julia Gillian (and the Art of Knowing)

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Drazen Kozjan. After Julia Gillian banishes her half-read, anxiety-producing book to the fire escape, her babysitter lays out options: "Are you going to risk an unhappy ending, or are you going to live in fear?" McGhee channels Beverly Cleary in her affectionate depiction of the close-knit Minneapolis neighborhood through which Julia Gillian roams. Lively ink and pencil drawings show her making the rounds.
