About this product

Product Information

Read this modern classic of young adult fantasy from award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Robin McKinley Harry Crewe is an orphan girl who comes to live in Damar, the desert country shared by the Homelanders and the secretive, magical Free Hillfolk. When Corlath, the Hillfolk King, sees her for the first time, he is shaken--for he can tell that she is something more than she appears to be. He will soon realize what Harry has never guessed: She is to become Harimad-sol, King's Rider, and carry the Blue Sword, Gonturan, which no woman has wielded since the legendary Lady Aerin, generations past. * "This is a zesty, romantic heroic fantasy with an appealingly stalwart heroine, a finely realized mythical kingdom, and a grounding in reality that enhances the tale's verve as a fantasy."-- Booklist (starred review) "McKinley knows her geography of fantasy, the nuances of the language, the atmosphere of magic . . . ."-- The Washington Post A Newbery Honor Book An ALA Notable Book An ALA Best Book for Young Adults

Praise for The Blue Sword  * "This is a zesty, romantic heroic fantasy with an appealingly stalwart heroine, a finely realized mythical kingdom, and a grounding in reality that enhances the tale's verve as a fantasy." -- Booklist,  starred review * "McKinley has reworked many familiar mythological motifs into a tale that is completely fresh; her spare and eloquent prose is sheer delight." -- School Library Journal , starred review "A new language, a new landscape, and a new people--all unforgettable!"-- The Horn Book "McKinley knows her geography of fantasy, the nuances of the language, the atmosphere of magic . . . ." -- The Washington Post "Any book that, at one point or another, reminded me of  The Sheikh, Gunga Din, Islandia,  and  The Lord of the Rings  can't be anything but a true original." -- Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction
