Embark on a sweeping journey of self-discovery in this adventurous middle grade novel perfect for fans of Karen Cushman and Gary Paulsen.
Twelve-year-old Blanca of Castile is the granddaughter of the Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, once the wife of both the king of France and the king of England. When Eleanor comes to visit Blanca at Castile to select the girl who will marry the prince of France, all expect her to pick Blanca''s older sister. But, to everyone''s surprise, it''s Blanca she chooses to be the princess.
Blanca, along with her best friend Suna, must set out over the Pyrenees Mountains for France. But the journey there is not easy. The group, which includes knights and attendants, and Queen Eleanor herself, is trapped by a late-season blizzard. And as they near France, they are kidnapped by one of Eleanor?s renegade vassals.
As Blanca overcomes the many perils of the journey, she will need to learn how to protect herself and those around her -- and about what it truly takes to be a queen.
