(4) 4-6 In this modern fairy tale, alternating chapters focus on Luna, a girl, and Perdy, an abandoned sprite. Before Perdy lost her twin, the swamp was a sparkling river. Now, the sprite's resentment poisons the water. Luna's sister takes an unlucky swallow, and Luna seeks Perdy to reverse the malady. Atmospheric descriptions slow down any drama, but this sweet story has the requisite happy ending.
