(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Rebecca Bond. Carly, a likable eleven-year-old orphan living in a ramshackle house on the edge of an ancient and enchanted forest, is nocturnal. She's terribly lonely until she encounters Lewis, a musically gifted rat, whose pack is suddenly and mysteriously dwindling. This is an old-fashioned, fast-paced fantasy with charming black-and-white illustrations and memorable characters, both human and not.
