(3) K-3 In fourteenth-century Europe, a girl wanders the countryside looking for help after she escapes a town slowly dying of the plague. The narrative is sparse; panel illustrations tell most of the story through delicate-lined pen-and-ink pictures showing dark, death-filled towns, forlorn families, and corpses. Background knowledge about the Black Plague will aid understanding of this illustrated book for older readers.
Reviewer: Laura A. Woollett
