Book review: "Fairest" by Gail Carson Levine

 By Emma Lechner

This book is a really good fairytale. It's about a girl named Aza who lives with her adoptive parents, but wants to know who her birth parents are. She meets a gnome who makes a prophecy that says she will be in danger. She endures a duchess with a bad taste for clothes, is made fun of for being ugly, and even fought ogres.
Aza meets a handsome prince with whom she soon falls in love with. She becomes Queen Ivy's Lady-in-waiting. But Queen Ivy would do anything to be the fairest in the land, even imprison innocent people. Aza runs away from the queen when she becomes imprisoned. She takes shelter with the gnomes and lives with them for protection. I think this is a very enchanting and adventurous book, and I suggest you read it. I also suggest “Ella Enchanted, and “The two princesses of Bamarre” which are by the same author.
