The Spy Princess (Viking, 400 pages, August 2)"When twelve-year-old Lady Lilah decides to disguise herself and sneak out of the palace one night, she has more of an adventure than she expected — for she learns very quickly that the country is on the edge of revolution. When she sneaks back in, she learns something even more surprising: her older brother Peitar is one of the forces behind it all.
The revolution happens before all of his plans are in place, and brings unexpected chaos and violence. Lilah and her friends, leaving their old lives behind, are determined to help however they can. But what can four kids do? Become spies, of course!"

Sounds like a good book. I love the title. Thanks for spotlighting it.
ReplyDeleteYep, the title would have sold me, even if I hadn't been an S.S. fan!

ReplyDeleteSHERWOOD SMITH!
It seemed like she just quit writing for awhile, or else I lost track of her, but I'm so excited that she's back.
She had Coronets and Steel come out in 2010, which isn't all that long about...
DeleteDid you read Once a Princess and Twice a Prince? (both 2009) They were very fun.
Oh, I want this book! I have SS's latest adult book sitting on my TBR as of this week (Blood Spirits, sequel to Coronets and Steel), but I'm so glad to know she has a new children's book!
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting
ReplyDeleteThis title is made of win. Spy. Princess. Holy cow, I want to own this even if it's just to make my sister read it once she's old enough. : D The blurb sounds just like her. *g*
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for sharing it with the rest of us! Hope you're having a great Wednesday!

I am a Sherwood Smith fan but I will admit I like her adult stuff better than her kids stuff. I will likely buy this just because I am a fan. My WoWs are for Fair Game by Patricia Briggs and Magic Under Stone by Jaclyn Dolamore. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteYet another author I really need to get around to!
