Produktbeschreibung

Embark on a sweeping journey of self-discovery in this adventurous middle grade novel perfect for fans of Karen Cushman and Gary Paulsen.

Twelve-year-old Blanca of Castile is the granddaughter of the Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, once the wife of both the king of France and the king of England. When Eleanor comes to visit Blanca at Castile to select the girl who will marry the prince of France, all expect her to pick Blanca's older sister. But, to everyone's surprise, it's Blanca she chooses to be the princess.

Blanca, along with her best friend Suna, must set out over the Pyrenees Mountains for France. But the journey there is not easy. The group, which includes knights and attendants, and Queen Eleanor herself, is trapped by a late-season blizzard. And as they near France, they are kidnapped by one of Eleanor's renegade vassals.

As Blanca overcomes the many perils of the journey, she will need to learn how to protect herself and those around her -- and about what it truly takes to be a queen.

Autorenporträt

Diane Zahler grew up reading children's books and never wanted to do anything but write them. She worked in the children's room of her public library and in a children's book publishing company, and now she's the author of several middle-grade novels (including The Thirteenth Princess and Daughter of the White Rose) and nonfiction books for older readers. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her husband and slightly neurotic dog in what is aptly nicknamed the Bug House.
