Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce
3.0

I've been reading Tamora Pierce's books in reverse order. The first book of hers I read was about Alanna's teenage daughter. I've worked my way backward in time until I reached this series. I have to say I still enjoyed reading the book. It wasn't great, but it was good. This chronicles Alanna's first 3 years as a page. She is pretending to be a boy because no girls are allowed to train to become knights. We are introduced to her close group of friends who are young now, but will continue to show up in the other series set in this world. This is the first of four books. I'll be getting the next one from the library soon.
