(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Gary Blythe. Eight-year-old Tomas is transformed by the power of a librarian's storytelling. When war comes to his village and the library burns, the townspeople band together to save the books and the carved wooden unicorn that sits in the storytelling room. The sketchlike pencil and watercolor illustrations effectively bolster the plot, but the insertion of wordless double-page spreads results in awkward line breaks.
