The Blue Sword: Newbery Honor Roll
Autor Robin McKinleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2000 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani
Harry Crewe is an orphan girl who comes to live in Damar, the desert country shared by the Homelanders and the secretive, magical Free Hillfolk. When Corlath, the Hillfolk King, sees her for the first time, he is shaken-for he can tell that she is something more than she appears to be. He will soon realize what Harry has never guessed: She is to become Harimad-sol, King's Rider, and carry the Blue Sword, Gonturan, which no woman has wielded since the legendary Lady Aerin, generations past.
* "This is a zesty, romantic heroic fantasy with an appealingly stalwart heroine, a finely realized mythical kingdom, and a grounding in reality that enhances the tale's verve as a fantasy."-Booklist (starred review)
"McKinley knows her geography of fantasy, the nuances of the language, the atmosphere of magic . . . ."-The Washington Post
