From Publishers Weekly Late one night 14-year-old Birle， the innkeeper's daughter， dives into the river in rash pursuit of a supposed thief， promptly falls in love with this runaway Lord of the Kingdom and embarks with him on a world-spanning adventure. Birle and her Lord are shipwrecked on a barren coast， rescued by pirates， sold into slavery and， after many other tribulations， narrowly escape and head for home. On Fortune's Wheel ， set in the same imaginary world as Jackaroo ， is a lush narrative woven from elements of classic fairy tales and legends. Newbery Medalist Voigt has provided enough plot for two or three tales， compelling characterizations， keen psychological insights and a surprising， deeply rewarding ending. This novel truly has something for everyone. Ages 11-up. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
