A Tale of two Castles, by Gail Carson Levine
Emma
Elodie goes to the city of Two Castles, where she hopes to become a Mansioner. She wants to act. She loves to act. But when Elodie goes to the mansions, there is no room for her. Instead she becomes a dragon's assistant. She goes to the Castle where, disguised as a kitchen maid, she begins solving a mystery involving a brilliant dragon, a cat trainer, a feared ogre, a clever princess, and plenty other suspicious characters.
I was thrilled to find a new book by Gail Carson Levine! It is just as good as her other books! I loved the suspense, the mystery, the characters, the voice, the story. (I also love the fact it's about someone my age)
