(2) 4-6 Treasures series. Illustrated by John Lawrence. Published in the small format of this series, this is the moving tale of two sisters who find a strange, mute, naked boy and adopt him. Pronounced a fairy child by the local wise woman, he stays with the family, as predicted, for just a year and a day, but changes their lives for always. Mayne's bracing, vivid prose and the unusual but heartwarming story are together absolutely spectacular.
