INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Thesman, Jean

Between

(4) 4-6 Journal entries record fourteen-year-old Charlotte's experiences living in a small hotel with her siblings during the summer of 1941. Charlotte comes to realize that an assortment of shape-shifting mythical animals (including unicorns, a dragon, and a griffin) live in the nearby woods and recognize her brother as the "Fair One" who will aid them in their battle to save the world. The fantasy isn't fully developed, but the sure-handed prose sustains interest.
