A note for parents
This Newbery Honor fantasy adventure by Gail Carson Levine explores prejudice, identity, and courage through a protagonist who must overcome both external conflict and internal bias. The story contains occasional battle references and moments of tension befitting a war-themed fantasy, but violence is not graphic or gratuitous. The book's primary strength lies in its examination of systemic prejudice and the growth of a character learning empathy and challenging her own assumptions—themes that make it genuinely valuable for middle-grade and early teen readers.

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.
