A kingdom beset by monsters . . .
A disease that weakens and destroys . . .
An epic poem and a hero of long ago . . .
A story of danger and desperation.
The two princesses of Bamarre couldn't be more different. Princess Addie is fearful and shy. Her deepest wish is for safety. Princess Meryl is bold and brave. Her deepest wish is to save the kingdom of Bamarre. They are sisters, and they mean the world to each other.
Then disaster strikes, and Addie—terrified and unprepared—sets out on a perilous quest. In her path are monsters of Bamarre: ogres, specters, gryphons, and dragons. Addie must battle them, but time is running out, and the sisters' lives—and Barmarre's fate—hang in the balance.
Gail Carson Levine left her mark on fantasy with her well-loved 1998 Newbery Honor Book Ella Enchanted. Now she has created another shimmering and tapestried landscape of fantasy and fairies. Bamarre and the journeys of its two princesses will burn themselves into the minds of readers, and all will relish this moving saga about two sisters groping their way toward heroism.

this is one of my most absolute favorite book in the entire world!!!!! it has adventure and just a little bit of romance. it is one of the best written books i have ever read. you can understand it, but it is not a little kid book!!! i would recommend this book to everyone!!!!;)
One of my most favorite books. It includes a girl who is sick with the gray death and her sister, the not so brave Addie, goes on the longest quest to find her. Dragging ogres, escaping dragons, and stepping over over stuffed gryphons, can be a hearty adventure for the princess of Bamarre.
Love it
