Protector of the Small: First Test by Tamora Pierce


Book Recommended by Alexandra C.

Lawrenceville Branch

The first girl to take advantage of a law stating that girls could become knights, Keladry of Mindelan is up against daunting odds. Struggling to keep up and prove just what girls can do, Kel realizes it’s going to be a lot tougher than she thought. In a male dominated palace, trashed rooms and forever being called ‘probationer’ are every day occurrences. Yet, as she has been put on probation by Lord Wyldon, the head training master, Kel has no choice but to accept it. Hit on all sides by bullies, non-caring teachers and an extremely sour horse, Kel is starting to wonder if she’s really going to make it or be forced to go home, leaving the knight’s shield to the men?

Easy to read, I would recommend this book to all girls along with ‘Page’, ‘Squire’, ‘Lady Knight’.
