Weekly Spotlight

Calling all fairy-tale lovers! If you haven't read anything by Gail Carson Levine, I highly recommend checking her out. The author of the popular Ella Enchanted, Levine has written several other wonderful novels in the fairy-tale realms.

In Fairest, Aza lives in a world that values beauty and a person's singing ability above all else. Aza has a beautiful voice, but she is big-boned and clumsy. Because she isn't considered to be "pretty"she is usually ignored. And then suddenly Aza is pushed into the spotlight and the fate of her country lies in her hands. In this fast-paced adventure, set off with Aza as she tries to save her country. And maybe, just maybe, she'll find love and acceptance along the way.

Want to check this book out? Fairest is shelved in the "L's" under Levine in our Fiction Collection that surrounds the tree. And if you like this book, make sure to check out Gail Carson Levine's other books too!
