Alanna: The First Adventure is the first installment in Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness series, a young adult series that focuses upon the coming of age of Alanna of Trebond as she becomes a knight in the realm of Tortall. To do this, she has to pose as a boy to start her training as a knight, while her twin brother who is interested in learning magic takes her place in the convents that teach it. I read this series when I was in grade school, and find that it is still wonderfully engaging today. The story is well paced, and the characters provide a vibrant insight into the world.
