Fairest
By Gail Carson Levine
I pulled this book off of the Young Adult shelves expecting some light fiction, but I really enjoyed some of the deeper meanings behind this story! Yes, it is a retelling of Snow White, but with insights that really apply to most women today. First of all, the two most prominent female characters are alike in that they find themselves unacceptable- like two sides of a coin, even their names are like each other. One, however, becomes the villain, and the other, the heroine. But Levine paints the two characters so you can see how one, in coming to accept herself as she is, finds happiness and bestows grace on those around her, and how the other, in hating herself and trying to be other than what she is, ends up destroying the kingdom.
Mulan: Before the Sword
By Grace Lin
Right now I am reading this book, and wow! This is set back to before Mulan, you know, pulled the sword. Mulan's little sister is in danger and Mulan and this immortal bunny rabbit must travel together to stop the evil-doer who caused Mulan's little sister harm and who has evil intentions towards the immortal bunny rabbit and the world. I do not know if I convinced everyone with my pathetic summary but as a good adventure book critic, I say that this is a definite must read for everyone who has seen the movie.

By Gail Carson Levine

A Tale of Two Castles
By Gail Carson Levine
After getting shunned from the mansioning apprentice master, Elodie has nowhere else to go. Without money, shelter, or any friends, she finds help from the dragon, called Meenore. Elodie uses her deductive thinking to solve a mystery in Two Castles. I would recommend this for ages 10+ I usually like mysteries so I thought that this one was also quite good. The pace was okay but in the end the plot had such a surprising twist!!! I still like Ella Enchanted better though.
