Summary
Beauty, magic, and drama intertwine in this magical young-adult Snow White-esque fairy tale set in the land of Ayortha, where people express their joys, sorrows, and feelings through song. The story follows the adventures of Ava, a 15-year-old innkeeper’s daughter. Considered incredibly ugly because of her height, dark hair, and wide face in a land of blond people, Ava is ashamed of her looks, but her mesmerizing, golden voice transfixes anyone lucky enough to hear her sing. When Ava finds herself at the palace, chosen by the new Queen Ivi as a lady-in-waiting, her life is transformed, but a host of problems follow. Love, ogres, treason, and more await the eager Gail Carson Levine fan. A 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year.

Media Reviews
"Fans of ELLA ENCHANTED (1997) will find Aza a kind-hearted, spirited heroine who uses her wit and voice to rescue the kingdom and who learns the hard way that beauty isn't everything. A song-filled, fast-paced fairy tale."
"In an alluring companion novel that some readers may argue even surpasses ELLA ENCHANTED, Levine gives a visionary rendering of the Snow White tale that challenges conventional ideas of beauty."
"Aza is a worthy addition to the growing list of tough fantasy girls who use their talents wisely, never wait for someone else to save them, and, if there is any time left over in their busy lives, always get their man."

The truth is, however, that Mia spends all her time doing one of three things: preparing for her nerve-racking entrée into Genovian society under the slave-driving but elegant Grandmére, slogging through congestion unique to Manhattan in December, and avoiding further smooches from her hapless boyfriend, Kenny. All she wants is a little peace and quiet...and a certain someone else to be her boyfriend. For Mia, being a princess in love is not the fairy tale it's supposed to be...or is it?

Brand new. <P>In the kingdom of Ayortha, who is the fairest of them all? Certainly not Aza. She is thoroughly convinced that she is ugly. What she may lack in looks, though, she makes up for with a kind heart, and with something no one else has–a magical voice. Her vocal talents captivate all who hear them, and in Ontio Castle they attract the attention of a handsome prince – and a dangerous new queen. In this masterful novel filled with humour, adventure, romance, and song, Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine invites you to join Aza as she discovers how exquisite she truly is.</P><P> Ages 8 – 14</P> ( more information) Offered by A Green Hippo (United Kingdom)
