The Goose Girl by Shannon HaleDescription: She was born with her eyes closed and a word on her tongue, a word she could not taste. Her name was Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kilendree, and she spent the first years of her life listening to her aunt's stories and learning the language of birds, especially the swans. When she was older, she watched as a colt was born, and she heard the first word on his tongue, his name, Falada.
From the Grimm's fairy tale of the princess who turned into a goose girl before she became queen, Shannon Hale has woven an incredible, original, and magical tale of a girl who must find her own unusual talents before she can lead the people she has made her own.
Also in this series are Enna Burning, River Secrets, Forest Born
