The Goose Girl

The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale

This book is exactly the reason why I love fantasy. It has all the action and romance that a girl can hope for. Ani is the Princess of a neighboring kingdom and on the way to get married to the next door prince her lady in waiting takes over and becomes the imposter princess. Oh yea. Ani also has animal speak and Selia has people speak. Meaning that Selia can persuade and talk in a way that makes people believe her. Ani can talk to some animals. So Ani becomes a goose girl and learns about the city and people around her.
