The Chosen Prince

(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old crown prince Alexos, recognized at birth as the one to end pestilence and war, is also a friendless outcast. When the polio-like "summer sickness" leaves him semi-paralyzed and he overhears his cold father's plan to leave the kingdom to beloved younger brother Teo, Alexos commits an unthinkable act. This book features a touchingly relatable character whose relationships make the racing plot meaningful.
