(3) 4-6 A bookbinder for her father's bookshop, Sophie dreams of leaving the almost-all-white Bustleburgh, where her dark skin makes her stick out and her love of stories is considered dangerous. When a blindfolded boy (Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes) and his cat-horse-hybrid companion appear, Sophie gets her wish. With a Lemony Snicket–like narrator and a smart, independent heroine, this is an enchanting companion tale.
