Description
When her courageous older sister Meryl falls ill with the dreaded Gray Death, timid twelve-year-old Addie must overcome her deepest fears to embark on a perilous quest across the kingdom of Bamarre. Armed with magical artifacts left by her mother—seven-league boots and an enchanted spyglass—along with gifts from the young sorcerer Rhys, Addie ventures into a world of gryphons, specters, and dragons she once trembled to imagine. As she navigates treacherous encounters and outwits cunning foes, the fearful girl discovers reserves of courage she never knew she possessed. Gail Carson Levine weaves a touching tale of sisterhood and self-discovery, where an unlikely hero learns that true bravery isn't the absence of fear, but the willingness to face it. This enchanting adventure is touched with romance, humor, and a bittersweet ending that will resonate long after the final page.
