She’s got the fate of a kingdom in her hands—or rather, in her shoes.
When two princesses ask Karina to
go to Whyland, a kingdom in a parallel dimension,
to destroy her fascinating
and potentially evil silver shoes, of course Karina accepts.
Who would refuse a
free trip to an alternate world?
Advised by a wise master and threatened
by a beautiful stepmother, Karina goes on a journey
with a princess to defeat a
powerful witch. But Whyland is nothing like she expected.
Karina finds herself
stuck in a kingdom she doesn’t understand,
with no clue on who to trust. Before
saving anyone, she’d better save herself—
if she figures out how.
From
Brazilian / Canadian writer Denise Marques Leitao
comes Karina’s Silver Shoes,
a teen parody of fantasy and fairy-tale tropes
with many female characters,
friendships between girls and women,
and some subtle romance.
If
you like to read about strong girls and women,
you’ve found your book.
