(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Angela Barrett. In this inviting British fantasy, odd things are happening around twelve-year-old Sylvie: her musician father disappears, her beloved dog becomes mute, and birds stop singing. Music and fantasy come together as Sylvie and her friend George enter the menacing world of the Songman, who has kidnapped her father and plans to render the world voiceless. Shadowy, elegant drawings enrich the text.
