In the kingdom of Kaloon, nothing is quite as it seems....
"Y-y-y-you," he stammered, and Flissa turned to see he'd gone ashen.
"T-t-t-two of you!"
Uh-oh.
Flissa reached up and checked. Sure enough, her hood had fallen off.
Their secret was out.
Princesses Flissa and Sara are even closer than most twins. In fact,
most of the kingdom thinks they're the same person.
When magic was outlawed in Kaloon generations ago, twins, black cats,
and other potentially -magical beings were outlawed, too. Since they
were born, Flissa and Sara have pretended to be one princess, Flissara,
trading off royal duties like attending glamorous balls, participating
in fencing exhibitions, and making friends with other young nobles, all
while hiding in plain sight.
But when the first magical attack in years puts their mother's life in
danger, the girls must break the rules that have protected them to save
her. Enlisting a brave servant boy and his plucky black kitten as their
guides, they set off on an epic quest to the Twists-a forbidden place
full of dark magic-to find the evil mage who cursed the queen. With a
case of mistaken identity, a wickedly powerful exile out for vengeance,
and time running out for their mother, the twins might just need to
make their own magic to save the day.
In the first book of this new series, author Elise Allen brings to life
a fantastical world filled with high-stakes adventure, incredible
twists, and all the spark and humor of sisterhood.
There are certainly publications that are intellectually more
refined and authoritative than "The Gaborro Reader" could ever hope
to be. But I take an author's pride from not making any moral or
ethical concessions whatsoever to power, to political correctness,
to oppressive tradition, or to the lowest common denominators of
popular opinion. Whatever the final appraisal of "The Gaborro
Reader" will be, no one can deny that this collection of articles
and essays is truly my own. That is what matters most in a world
where independent voices are struggling to be heard above the
conformist din of modern existence.

Cara has never been one of "those" girls: confident,
self-possessed, and always ready with the perfect thing to say. A
girl at the very top of the popularity tower. One of the Populazzi.
Now, junior year could change everything. Cara's moving to a new
school, and her best friend urges her to seize the moment--with the
help of the Ladder. Its rungs are relationships, and if Cara
transforms into the perfect girlfriend for guys ever-higher on the
tower, she'll reach the ultimate goal: Supreme Populazzi. The
Ladder seems like a lighthearted social experiment, a straight
climb up, but it quickly becomes gnarled and twisted. And when
everything goes wrong, only the most audacious act Cara can think
of has a chance of setting things even a little bit right.
