(2) 4-6 A girl on a platter pieced together from pottery shards in eleven-year-old Joplin's grandfather's house comes to life. The girl, Sofie, is under a curse, forced to grant wishes to the platter's owner. Joplin's desperate race to rescue Sofie is suspenseful, mysterious, thoughtful, and occasionally melancholic; the intricately plotted tale ultimately connects Sofie to Joplin (and to her family) in a surprising and satisfying way.
