What this book is about

The second Protector of the Small novel follows Keladry of Mindelan through her second year as a page — facing hazing from older pages, the challenges of knightly training, and the ongoing skepticism of those who don't believe girls should be knights. Pierce writes YA fantasy with genuine psychological insight and a strong moral compass. The bullying and training violence are handled with purpose and age-appropriateness. Appropriate for middle-grade readers.
