Just finished reading this for the second time. i love it. it is a great book. i was 13 when i read it last, now i am 16 and still love it. it helped me deal with my own appearance and helped me be more confident. i totally recommend any of these books to anyone.
Alanna of Trebond has always liked to fight, she is much better at it then her twin brother Thom. Who hates to hit anything with a sword.
But when their father issues that Thom will go be a knight and Alanna a lady, Alanna comes up with a plan.
Her and Thom will switch places. She will go to Corus and masquerade as a boy to get through knight training. Thom would go to the palaces where they taught girls, and be moved to be taught sorcery when he was older.
