(3) K-3 Illustrated by Juan Cáneba Clavero. In this smooth retelling of a traditional tale from Persia, young Fatima's attempt to escape a prophecy of death leads to a series of mysterious events, including her task of saving Prince Javanmard from an evil spell. When her success is foiled by the robber girl Koli, the magical Patient Stone gives Fatima the chance to redeem herself. Lavish watercolors portray significant parts of the text.
