This book is one that I would reccomend for any female. It is (yet another) fairytale retelling (I read a lot of those. They are too good to pass up!) It is the story of Doucette, the youngest doughter of a french count who has always wished to be a Swan Maiden like her older sisters, but she was supposedly born without a swan skin like they were. When she discovers her skin, she decides that her life has been a lie for far too long, and goes to train in the study of magic with her Aunt. Along the way she falls in love with a shepherd, and is forbidden marriage with him. I will NOT give away the ending, but it is fairly obvious, no? Innocent romance, well written, great plot, familiarity, what's not to like?

Hope this helps Aunt Heather. I think Willa will like it. Try getting the twins to read it too please?
ReplyDeleteThanks Azya. We're going to the library today and I'll see if it's there.
ReplyDeleteDude...am I supposed to call you Anya? Sorry if I'm exposing you...
ReplyDeleteyes, that would be helpful, but so far, only family reads this (well, as far as I know anyways...)
