Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce
4.0
I re-read this book as a precaution since we are planning on giving it to my 7yo niece as a Christmas present. She is an avid reader but since she's only in second grade I wanted to make sure that there weren't any themes that were beyond her age.
I loved this book as a child and loved re-reading it. It's a great story of courage and friendship, perfect for children. My favorite part might be the way in which it reinforces playing by the rules to achieve your goals. In a world where we can so frequently just buy our way into what we want this book reminded me of the importance of discipline and drive. I'm excited to give it to M for Christmas and I hope that she enjoys Alanna's story as much as I did as a child.
