Alanna:The First Adventure-This is a book about a
headstrong young girl who doesn't want to be trained as
a noblewoman, but she does want to be a knight. So she
and her twin brother Thom, who wants to be a sorcerer instead
of a knight, trade places. Alanna dresses up as a boy and
becomes a page at the royal palace, the first step in training
to be a knight. This is the story of her four years as
a page. It doesn't take her long to make friends, such as
the heir to the throne, Prince Jonathan; the King of Thieves;
George Cooper; the old knight, Myles; and other young pages
and squires from the palace. But she also makes enemies,
such as Prince Jonathan's sorcerer uncle, Duke Roger, who
teaches her to use her magic, and Ralon of Malven. She
has to deal with the hard training, evil gods, and a deadly
magical sickness. Return to the top of this page
