(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Rebecca Green. The Brontë children find themselves in a world of their own juvenile writings come to life. Valente's fantasy is baroque, effusive, full of lengthy description--and driven by energetic wordplay and wacky invention that keep it bounding along. Occasional black-and-white illustrations highlight how much this world is populated by animate everyday objects and, at the same time, emphasize the elegance and stylishness of Valente's "nonsense."
