Summary: This is another retelling of a classic tale, this time a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. Ani is a princess who has the gift of speaking to and understanding birds and horses. When Ani is sent to a neighboring kingdom to marry its prince, her lady-in-waiting overthrows the company and steals Ani's identity. Ani must take a job as the palace goose girl to even gain entry to the palace, and keep her beautiful blond hair hidden. (It is a dead giveaway to her heritage.) The exciting conclusion and unexpected plot twists will keep readers on the edge of their seats!
My thoughts: I looooove Shannon Hale! Her books are the ultimate escape, taking you away to a time of princes and palaces. But this is no Disney story--there's intrigue and suspense and betrayal and adventure and best of all, true love.
