		She manages to disguise herself as a boy so thoroughly that she gains admittance to the palace military academy and quickly establishes herself as the most talented of the new knights-in-training.
		What she doesn't count on, however, is just how hard it can be to maintain her secret over time - not only does her womanhood become more difficult to conceal, but so too does the growing force of her healing magic.

		Alanna of Trebond wants to become a knight, but there's one problem--she's a girl.
		"This is a great book because when Alanna wasn't able to be a knight she pretended that she was a boy and strived to get as far to her dream as she could.
		I really think Alanna and the other people are well written, and Tamora Pierce did a GREAT job in all of her books, especially the Lioness quartet.
