(2) 4-6 Illustrated by David Diaz. The story begins with a mysterious rider dropping a pouch adorned with the royal seal; peasant children Pia and Enzio must decide what to do with it. With precise language and recurring motifs echoed by Diaz's chapter-opening illustrations, Creech weaves her characters into a delicate tapestry. The book's prettiness and Creech's always-evocative writing make it a pleasant foray into a fairy-tale world.
