This posting is by me and a friend:
This is the first book in a series called 'Song of the Lioness' by Tamora Pierce that my friend and I have both read. It's about an eleven year old, strong, stubborn girl who lives in what seems to be medieval times. This girl, Alanna, chooses to train for knighthood to serve Tortall, the kingdom that she lives in. The only problem is that no women have been knighted in Tortall for one hundred years. The book is about her perseverance, her successes, and her failures in the process of becoming a warrior. Alanna is a great example of how females can accomplish whatever they set their mind to.
A big thank you to N. N. who introduced me to Alanna.

hi. i really like this book too! i also thought the whole idea of having a girl proving herself to be just as good as the guys was a great plot. i read this book a while ago so i don't really remember that much about it. the one thing i do remember though is never wanting to put it down!!!
hi. i see that you rated Alanna higher than HP. That's cool! I wish they would make a movie of Alanna (and the whole series). Wouldn't that be awesome?
Yeah, it would! I hoped for that too, but then the characters might be miscasted, or just different from what i imagine them. I'd still like it though!
btw, how did u find out about my blog? I've been asking people that. Because i know i can't find it on the web.
