Alanna is determined to be a warrior but of course, only boys can be warriors. Thus starts a deception that will allow Alanna (Alan) her dreams. She meets wonderful friends - Jon, Alex, Gary and George - who help her through her first few years as a page. She hates her magical abilities but they will save her life as well as Jon's in the near future.

This is a great adventure and a terrific start to the Song of the Lioness series. Very well written with great real-life characters and challenges.
