In this compelling and thought-provoking fantasy set in the world of The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Newbery Honor-winning author Gail Carson Levine introduces a spirited heroine who must overcome deeply rooted prejudice—including her own—to heal her broken country. Peregrine strives to live up to the ideal of her people, the Latki—and to impress her parents: affectionate Lord Tove, who despises only the Bamarre, and stern Lady Klausine. Perry runs the fastest, speaks her mind, and doesn’t give much thought to the castle’s Bamarre servants, whom she knows to be weak and cowardly. But just as she’s about to join her father on the front lines, she is visited by the fairy Halina, who reveals that Perry isn’t Latki-born. She is Bamarre. The fairy issues a daunting challenge: against the Lakti power, Perry must free her people from tyranny.

For years, I have meant to read Gail Carson Levine. I've collected beat up second hand books and bought kindle editions when the price was right. Even Audible versions such as this when the sale hit and I saw it at the right moment. This was an excellent place to begin. While yes, I've seen the film version of Ella Enchanted, this is the first story with The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre that I have read/listened.
The narrator was upbeat and energetic. The character personalities came out and for moments I forgot it was only one voice. My daughter (11) and I really enjoyed this.
