The Crown (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Selection)

Product Description FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Twenty years have passed since America Singer and Prince Maxon fell in love, and their daughter is the first princess to hold a Selection of her own. Eadlyn didn't think she would find a real partner among the Selection's thirty-five suitors, let alone true love. But sometimes the heart has a way of surprising you, and now Eadlyn must make a choice that feels more difficult-and more important-than she ever expected. Review A cross between The Hunger Games (minus the bloodsport) and The Bachelor (minus the bloodsport), this trilogy launch is a lot of fun. Cass deftly builds the chemistry between America and Maxon, while stroking the embers of America s first, forbidden love. --Publishers Weekly"An engrossing tale reminiscent of Shannon Hale s Princess Academy and Ally Condie s Matched. Fairy-tale lovers will lose themselves in America s alternate reality and wish that the next glamorous sequel were waiting for them. --School Library Journal"Cass s immensely readable debut novel is a less drastic Hunger Games, with elaborate fashion and trappings. The fast-paced action will have readers gasping for the upcoming sequel. --ALA Booklist"Deliciously entertaining. --Publishers Weekly"PRAISE FOR THE SELECTION SERIES: A real page-turner. Romance, royalty, and revolution in a reality-show format serve Cass boldly rendered heroine well in her quest for justice and love. --ALA Booklist"Reality T.V. meets dystopian fairy tale in Kiera Cass s delightful debut. Charming, captivating, and filled with just the right amount of swoon! --Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of the Paranormalcy trilogy"
