Alanna by Tamora Pierce, in quotes Spooky & Strange

    • Books

"Alanna gritted her teeth and thrust her chin forward stubbornly. She would see this through." 
 
It's midwinter in the endless library, and Aurelien has only the very best books to shine a light in the gloom. "Alanna" (1983) by Tamora Pierce is a bright, fun, gritty-in-age-appropriate-ways, accessible first book in a girl-forward fantasy series.
