The Goose Girl
Shannon Hale's The Goose Girl her first published novel and a creative remix of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Goose Girl." The story begins: The king of a great land died, and left his queen to take care of thier only child. The child was a daughter.... In Hale's version, the Queen mother sends the rightful "princess" far away, bestowing the kingship on her son. Promised in marriage to someone she had never met, the story begins with a mother's betrayal and a friend's corruption. The Goose Girl exemplifies the strength and beauty that nature freely provides.
Letters to the Lost
I’m putting Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer among my favorite books. Packed with emotion and hope and love, it has the bad boy Declan, the lost girl Juliet, and then there’s Rev. If I had to place this in a genre, it would be a romance but it is also a mystery and an emotional journey of relationships that intersect all over the place. I’m ready to read another of Kemmerer’s books.
