What's better than a great book with an inspiring female protagonist ? A great book with two! Move over heroines and make room for Lucy and Snowcap, from the pages of The Remarkable & Very True Story of Lucy & Snowcap. This "Thelma and Louise" like tale for children takes place in Tathenland, a thirteen-island chain imbued with magical properties. The indigenous islanders, the "Colay" are forced to share their land with shipwrecked penal colony convicts. Every thing is not well and good, resulting in the journey of the heroine, or in this case, heroines. Bouwman's prose works nicely, melding fantasy and history. Likeable and strong girls debut in this well written, interesting book. Make this a recommended read!
