Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce

5.0

When I was a young girl who struggled daily to read at the same pace as her peers, a librarian recommended this book and changed my life.

This is the book that made 9-year-old me fall in love with reading. It also made me want to be a knight, much to the dismay of my brother, who now had to share his toy swords. I love these books to this day.

Do the tween/teen girls in your life a favour, and get them this book.
