The Star of Kazan
Author(s): Eva Ibbotson
Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal (announced July 8), this tale for ages nine and over is about an orphan, horrid relatives, a strange inheritance and the dancing Lipizzaner stallions that perform before the emperor. A heartwarming, old-fashioned adventure, every bit as absorbing as Ibbotson's prize-winning Journey to the River Sea. - Guardian.
