"In delicious language that is both elevated and earthy, Murdock spins a rip-roaring yarn that borrows fairy-tale conventions...and reverses them to suit her strong, resourceful heroine. The wild adventure, intricately imagined setting, memorable characters, and romance will charm readers, especially fans of Gail Carson Levine's FAIREST." "Murdock's first venture into fantasy offers a fairy tale with several twists and surprises, and readers will be drawn into the world and moods that she creates." First lineHow many times I have wondered what my fate might have been had I accompanied my parents that rainy spring morning. Such musing, I recognize, are more than a trifle insane, for envisioning what might have been has no more connection to our own true reality than a lunatic has to a lemon. Publisher's noteA girl is transformed, through instruction in life at court, determination, and magic, from sullen, pudgy, graceless Ben into Crown Princess Benevolence, a fit ruler of the kingdom of Montagne as it faces war with neighboring Drachensbett. Reprint. AnnotationPart feminist fairy tale, part coming-of-age novel, this young adult treat from the author of DAIRY QUEEN is filled with magic, bravery, and humor. After the tragic murder of her parents, Princess Ben, long sheltered from the pomp and circumstance of the castle, must submit to Queen Sophia’s many harsh rules of court. Banished to a tower and forced to learn how to be a proper lady, Ben discovers a secret room where she learns the arts of magic. But when a rival kingdom decides it’s high time to conquer Ben’s beloved land, her magical forays must be used for a threat far greater than boredom and despair, and only she can save her people.
