THE GREAT GOOD THING

Roderick Townley, . . S&S/Aladdin, $4.99 (216pp) ISBN 978-0-689-85328-9

"This clever, deftly written first novel gives life to Princess Sylvie and her cohorts, characters from an out-of-print and rarely read fairy tale, by having them cross over to the dreams of Readers," said PW, calling it "as much a romantic paean to reading and writing as it is a good story." Ages 10-up. (Oct.)
