Teaser Tuesday: The False Princess by Eilis O'Neal

Posted by Kathy Martin at 5:34 AM
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser this week comes from the 2011 Debut YA Author Eilis O'Neal who wrote The False Princess. This is a fantasy about a young woman who was unknowingly raised as a stand-in for the real princess and who has to find out who she really is when the real princess is brought home and she is sent on her way.
You didn't like or dislike magic. It was like saying you didn't like air; it was something that was here, something you couldn't do anything about. Some people had it and some people didn't, like red hair or poor eyesight.

    When I saw you post on MizB's blog and say that one of the books you were reading was The False Princess, I had to come and take a peek at what you chose! I read this book the week it came out and really adored it. I like the one you chose about the way everyone views magic. I hope you enjoyed this book as much as I did! ^_^
