Product Description
Review
"Wood's debut fantasy highlights a feisty modern-day teen (Willow) who grew up with her Nana's tales of the fantasy kingdom of Mistolear, only to discover that it is real and that she is the Mistolear princess and a pawn in the elf prince Nezereal's life-or-death game of chess... In the deftly woven tell of fantasy and suspense, Willow is sharp-witted in both the human and fantasy realms, intermingling the skills she learns in both to save Mistolear."
Product Description
Willow Kingswell thinks of herself as an ordinary fourteen-year-old girl. Although she has been hearing her grandmother's stories about the enchanted realm of Mistolear for as long as she can remember, being a princess is the furthest thing from her mind. What's worrying Willow these days is finding a way to get accepted by the in-crowd at her high school without betraying her friend Abby.
What's also worrying her is Nana, who is her only family, and who seems increasingly frail and confused. Suddenly, Willow finds herself magically transported to the real Mistolear, where it turns out she actually does have a large family - and a royal one at that! Willow's courage and intellect are put to the test as she attempts to save the kingdom from a terrifying spell.
Maggie L. Wood has created a complex and compelling adventure fantasy that addresses contemporary teen issues with insight, compassion and a wry sense of humour.

MUST READ!!! Fresh new author spins amazing tale!,
This review is from: The Princess Pawn (Paperback)
I have always been a fan of the fantasy genre. i am a high school senior and my favorite books include several YA fantasy (including books by Tamora Pierce, JK Rowlings ect). This book was added to my list the moment i finished it. The characters were insightful and ones that we all can relate to. It was also nice to see a girl be the hero for once! This book had excellent fantasy as well, it didn't get too complicated and it was easy to remember the basic ideas of thier belief system. i enjoyed the final battle that kept my breath until the last moment. This book has everything you could want in a book (except maybe graphic/senseless death and murder). It is a definte must read for all those who enjoy a good fantasy and would be a good transtion for those who aren't sure! TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!!
