Alanna: The First Adventure

I just finished Alanna, by Tamora Pierce, and it is an amazing book!  It is basically about a girl who pretends to be a boy so she can go to court and learn to be a knight in stead of being a lady.  Her twin brother wants to be a sorcerer instead of a knight, so they trade places (the ladies at the convent always train the young sorcerers in the beginning of their education).  This book is all about Alan's (Alanna's) time at the castle as a page (ages 11 to 14). There are four books in this series, and I am about to start Under the Hand of the Goddess, the next book in the series.  I will let you know if I liked that one when I'm done!!
