The Lost Kingdom of Bamarre

A teenage girl must overcome deep-rooted prejudice—including her own—to save her people in the Newbery Honor author’s fantasy adventure.

As a member of the Lakti people, Peregrine was raised to strive for excellence—and to look down on the Bamarre, whom she knows to be weak and cowardly. Always seeking the affection of her stern and powerful parents, Perry runs the fastest, speaks her mind, and gives no thought to their castle’s Bamarre servants.

But just as she’s about to join her father on the front lines of battle, she is visited by the fairy Halina, who reveals that Perry isn’t Lakti-born. She is Bamarre. The fairy issues a daunting challenge: against the Lakti power, Perry must free her people from tyranny.
