Summary
Princess Anidori-Kiladra of Kildenree was born with a word on her tongue and a secret magic. Though she is raised in luxury, she is never quite comfortable with who she is or what she is to become. Then she is sent on a journey to marry an unknown prince. The trip is difficult, and before it is finished all her expectations are overturned. Alone, friendless, stripped of her crown and her title, Ani must learn to make her own path in the world. Along the way, she just might learn to be a princess.

Bold in concept, stunning in execution, The Goose Girl is one of the most spectacular debut novels of recent years. Now more than four dozen actors bring it to thrilling new life in this unabridged audio edition—a recording that will delight those who already love the book, and enthrall those who have not yet discovered it.

I'm not sure why this is rated as a kids book. There a lot of mature themes in here that will go right over a kid's head. Some aspects of this book are also not appropriate for children. It would be more fitting to label this as young adult fiction. That said, this is a fantastic story. Shannon Hale paints a lively, vivid world with her frequent use of similes and metaphors. Her characters are also written so compellingly that some parts of this book make me cry. The greatest strength of this book is the author's masterful development of the main character. I have long treasured this story and hope to share it with my family some day. Additionally, Full Cast Audio does a fantastic job bringing this story to life!!
