(3) 4-6 Desperate to join a band of women warriors, twelve-year-old Alia and her friend Kay capture two child spies from a hostile country. But when Alia is put in charge of the captives, they demonstrate that her own leader is an evil magician and the war isn't black and white. The story offers a nuanced view of conflict and an intriguing speaking-to-trees magic from first-time author McCaffrey.
