The Princess and the Hound The Princess and the Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison

Prince George is the prince of the kingdom of Kendel, but he has a secret; he has the animal magic. Although having and using the animal magic isn't illegal in the country, most of the population claims it to be evil, and they kill almost anyone they find who possesses it, so George keeps his magic a secret. For the sake of the kingdom, he agrees to an arranged marriage with the princess Beatrice of a nearby kingdom. He goes to meet her, and discovers that she has a secret of her own.

This riveting book is sure to capture the attention of readers of all ages with its fun and imaginative plot, while also showing the problems with prejudices and stereotypes, and the benefits of accepting people for who they are. With its entertaining story and good ideals it sets, this book will be enjoyed by many.
