(2) 4-6 "Plain, unremarkable she-bear" Ursula Brown becomes governess to Teddy, only cub of the affluent Vaughns--and finds herself contending with midnight footsteps, a hidden personage in the attic, and handsome clerk Mr. Bentley. This ursine Victorian romance riffs on Jane Eyre, folktales, and nursery rhymes, but the fully imagined world stands up well even if a reader doesn't recognize the literary play.
