The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale

This book changed my life I think???? I’ve never been on such a journey during a novel, and it’s a children novel!!! The development as Ani as a strong young female role model is phenomenal and the development between the relationships with other characters, and the meaning of those relationships was really important and really displayed to me how friendship can be found even at the lowest points of life. I also majorly enjoyed how the love interest was a plot line in the novel, but took a backseat and allowed Ani to be her own person. We really saw that in the end Ani was her own strong character, with or without her love interest. In addition to that, I would highly recommend listening to this book on audio, especially if going on a long trip! The full cast, music, and full on experience of listening to this book on audio changed the whole feel of the novel for me, and I got really emotional as the book came to a close.
