From the author of Ella Enchanted and The Princess Diaries comes another fairytale fantasy about 15 year old Aza, who helps her family run their inn in the countryside.Aza is bulky, akward and homely, so she is surprised when duchess invites her to be a lady's maid, and attend the wedding of the King. When the beautiful but deceitful queen discovers that Aza can throw her beautiful voice and make it seem as if others are speaking, Aza is drawn into a deception that could spell her ruin.
Aza must unconver her true heritage and learn her own self worth in order to set the court and the country to rights. A great book, though a little more serious than some of Gail Carson Levine's previous works.

Gail Carson Levine didn't write The Princess Diaries, Meg Cabot did.
Argh! This is why we need people to post comments: it keeps us in line! You're absolutely right. For more books by Gail Carson Levine, try "The Two Princesses of Bamarre", "Princess Tales", and "The Wish". If you like Meg Cabot, keep your eyes peeled for her reissued series, 1-800-WHERE-R-U, arriving in the library now.
