OLDER FICTION
Bow, Erin

Plain Kate

(2) YA After trading her shadow for "a heart's wish," Plain Kate (along with talking cat Taggle) is banished from town. Taken in by a caravan of Roamers, Kate makes friends with a girl whose mother was burned as a witch. The vaguely Eastern European setting lends the story an old-world beauty that softens the often brutish events in this stunning debut fantasy.
