The False Prince / Jennifer A. Nielsen / 342 pages

"Jennifer Nielson has woven a heart-racing tale full of danger and bold adventure, lies and deadly truths that will keep readers on the edge of their seats."  Sage is one for four orphans chosen by Conner to compete for the role of impersonator of the missing, presumed-dead prince whose ship had been attacked by pirates.  Recently the prince's father, mother, and brother died leaving the kingdom without a king, and strong, warlike neighboring kingdoms are watching with interest.  Conner plans to install his orphan impersonator as king and himself as regent.  The characterization in this novel is outstanding!  Sage and the others leap off the page and draw the reader into their nonstop adventures and challenging lives.
