The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale


"Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kildenree, spends the first years of her life under her aunt's guidance learning to communicate with animals. As she grows up Ani develops the skills of animal speech, but is never comfortable speaking with people, so when her silver-tongued lady-in-waiting leads a mutiny during Ani's journey to be married in a foreign land, Ani is helpless and cannot persuade anyone to assist her.
Becoming a goose girl for the king, Ani eventually uses her own special, nearly magical powers to find her way to her true destiny. Shannon Hale has woven an incredible, original and magical tale of a girl who must find her own unusual talents before she can become queen of the people she has made her own."

Next up in the year of reading is The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale. So this is another book I have been meaning to read for several years now that I happened to find in clearance at Half Price Books, so glad I found it because after reading it this is one I would have rushed out to buy for a personal copy (since over half the books I read via library). It is so good, and will probably be reading the next books in the series VERY soon. Gave it 5 stars. If there was a higher star count on Goodreads I would probably give it a higher one :)

Read it January 6th - 7th
