The Goose Girl is a retelling of a Grimm's fairy tale (not one that I had heard of before). Ani is the Crown Princess of Kildenree and betrothed to the Prince of Bayern. She travels from her home to Bayern with her maid in waiting. Her maid in waiting turns traitor and claims to be the princess rather than Ani. Ani bides her time working for the King as a goose girl, trying to determine how to prove the maid false. Along her journey she finds friends and help in unlikely places, including herself.There are two other books about Bayern including Enna Burning and River Secrets. Both are worthy tales, but The Goose Girl is the most intriguing.

Wow - I was just going to post about his book!! I just finished it on our recent road trip. Remembering that it is written for a much younger audience - I really enjoyed it. I am still debating about whether to read the other books. I think my daughter will enjoy it in the next year or so.
My eleven year old daughter loved this series and whizzed through them all in just a couple of weeks.
