Phoebe and the Gypsy (Orca, $5.95)

Andrea Spalding, who lives on Pender Island, returns to the English villages of her childhood for Phoebe and the Gypsy (Orca, $5.95). The story is based on Spalding's memories of gypsy families who halted their caravans to sell clothes pegs, to sharpen tools and to read fortunes. Plagued by episodes of second sight, Phoebe comes to a new acceptance of her unusual ability after a chance encounter with a fortune teller. Geared to 8-11-year-old readers. 1-55143-135-1
