Publisher's summary

Aly’s adventure continues. . . .

No longer a slave, Alanna’s daughter is now spying as part of an underground rebellion against the colonial rulers of the Copper Isles. The people in the rebellion believe that a prophecy in which a new queen will rise up to take the throne is about to be realized. Aly is busy keeping the potential teenage queen and her younger siblings safe, while also keeping her in the dark about her future. But Aly, who is usually adept at anticipating danger and changes, is in for a few nasty surprises.

New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tamora Pierce captured the imagination of audiences 20 years ago with Alanna: The First Adventure. As of August 2003, she has written 21 books including three completed quartets: The Song of the Lioness, The Immortals, and The Protector of the Small, set in the fantasy realm of Tortall. She has also written the Circle of Magic and The Circle Opens quartets. The author lives in New York, NY.

Critic reviews

“The humour is wicked, and the plot twists will keep the pages turning to the supremely satisfying end.”—School Library Journal

my daughter's favorite

tamora pierce writes a book anyone can enjoy. our favorite bedtime activity is listening to one of her books.

Excellent Narration

I love Tamora Pierce's stories, but most of the recorded versions aren't as good as they could be. This narrator is lovely: good pacing, wonderful characterizations, and a voice that is a joy to listen to. I highly recommend both Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen for lovers of fantasy with a touch of espionage.

entrancing!

All of T. Pierce's books are marvelous! I've read all of her Trickter books, Alanna books, and Immortals books. I can't say which one is the best! Every series and book is connected to every other boom she has written, from Alanna's First Adventure to Trickster's Queen. If you don't res them all,, you won't understand themm entirely. It's like onw huge novel on fictional history! I love reading something connected to the other books, it's like finding the crucial puzzle piece after you had long put together the rest of the puzzle. They are all incredible, and a must read or listen! I hope there will be more novels by Pierce, because I feel that the story isn't finished yet. I need to find the other books from the Terrier.

Great fantasy with a moral fable

Good story, likable characters, interesting location. For middle school and all older readers, a good moral reflection on the consequences of greed, injustice, and poor judgement. Time flies when you listen to this novel, due to both the actual book and the outstanding narration.

My favorite book

I love this book and have for 10 years since I first read it. It's my book that always makes me feel better when I read it and it's still good to listen to.

one of my favorites

Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors and Trickster's Choice & Queen are her best.

I so wish more were written by Tamora Pierce.
