Fascinating Journey of finding true beauty.
Aza is young girl who is very different from the rest of the people in her kingdom. She lives with her family in a small inn they run. One day she receives the pleasure of becoming a substitute lady in waiting and attends the wedding of the king. Aza is ashamed she is not a beauty like the rest but its her dream. Throughout her journey she meets loyal friends but also deceitful people who plan on causing horrid things to Aza. In the books Aza struggles against the public over her appearance and the way she isn't like rest and isn't really accepted. A theme the books really tries to convey is it doesn't matter how we look in the outside,but how we are in the inside. As Aza discovers that for herself . In my opinion I think its really messed up of them for discriminating Aza because she's different . It's a wonderful book though ,that keeps you content and fills your head to imagine colorful or elegant things. I would recommend this to a parent ,teacher or a friend.

I'm 10 and I read it. I loved most of it, but there are a couple of things that I think are iffy: some deception, imprisonment, and a little kissing. But overall, it rocks!

Another wonderfully empowering story from Gail Carson Levine.
My 8-year old loved this book, and so do I. This story includes many subtle lessons: the pitfalls of obsession with beauty, the importance of family support and self-reliance, making the most of your strengths, and how good deeds and considerations can pay back in unexpected ways.
