A good old honest thumbs up


I don't usually reread books but I do reread the Alanna Series by Tamora Pierce every two to three years.

This is a book that I discovered when I was a tween and have loved ever since. Occasionally I meet a friend or read a facebook page that mentions the series and I get all giddy inside: I have found another fan!!

The book is wonderful, inspiring, and creates a realistic fantasy world. Its about a girl who pretended to be a boy so she can become a knight.

Tamora Pierce has written some many extensions to the world and usually I buy the next book the first day it comes out.

And the BEST PART is they HAVEN'T made a movie of it yet. They haven't ruined it by having some new child star bounce on screen. Although if they offered me the part of older Kel in her later series "Protector of the Small" I would say YES!!
