MARCO'S MILLIONS

In this prequel to The Boxes, 12-year-old Marco and his psychic, hyper-sensitive sister find a strange tunnel in their basement leading them to another world inhabited by odd, blind, religious beings. "The book is riveting for the ethical dilemma it poses," said PW. Ages 9-12. (Oct.)

Correction: The illustrator of Winter: An Alphabet Acrostic (Clarion) by Steven Schnur is Leslie Evans, not Linda, as noted in Children's Forecasts, Oct. 7. Also, The Joyous Season by Patrick Dennis (Green Mansion), noted in the Sept. 30 issue, is priced at $18.95, not $23.
