The Beatryce Prophecy


This AMAZING new book by Kate DiCamillo features Beatryce, a girl who does not remember who she is and who arrives sick and lost on the steps of a monastery.  The monks soon realize she can read and write, which is illegal for a girl.  They know she must be special and there is a prophecy which speaks of a girl who will unseat the King.  So they hide her, shave her head and pass her off as a boy as long as they can.  As the King's men search for this girl, she must remember who she is, find her courage and challenge the king.  (FIC DIC)
