I really do like the Shannon Hale books. I have posted about some of her other books too:
The Goose Girl
Enna Burning
River Secrets
Forest Born
Princess Academy
I can't wait for Meg to be able to read these books so that I can read them again with her. I like books with happy endings and S. Hale doesn't disappoint. It another young reader so it is easy to get through.
When Dashti, a maid, and Lady Saren, her mistress, are shut in a tower for seven years because of Saren’s refusal to marry a man she despises, the two prepare for a very long and dark imprisonment.
As food runs low and the days go from broiling hot to freezing cold, it is all Dashti can do to keep them fed and comfortable. With the arrival outside the tower of Saren’s two suitors—one welcome, the other decidedly less so—the girls are confronted with both hope and great danger, and Dashti must make the desperate choices of a girl whose life is worth more than she knows.
With Shannon Hale’s lyrical language, this little-known classic fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm is reimagined and reset in a land inspired by the Asian steppes; it is a completely unique retelling filled with adventure and romance, drama and disguise.
