Summary Of Goose Girl

Goose Girl The book I am reading is called “Goose Girl” By: Shannon Hale. The main characters in this book are Anidori-Kilandra Talianna Isilee, Falada, Celia, Enna and Geric. Anidori-Kilandra Talianna Isilee is also known as Ani. Ani is the main character in this story. She is the crown princess of Kildenree. Ani is a very shy person. Her aunt told her that there were three types of gifts some people got when they were born. People speaking, animal speaking and nature speaking. Ani had the gift of animal speaking, or that’s what her aunt said. Falada is Ani’s horse. Falada can project thought into Ani’s head and Ani can do the same too. They can do this because when Falada was born Ani was there and she heard the word a horse says only
once when it is born. Celia is Ani’s lady in waiting. She always wanted to be a princess so she betrayed Ani and impersonated her when they went to the new kingdom where Ani was supposed to marry the prince, Geric. Enna was the one who helped Ani get back her true identity so she could marry the prince. Geric is the prince of Kildenree. He fell in love with Ani in disguised as Isi while she was working as the goose girl in the king’s palace to earn some money. He didn’t know she was the real princess. He thought Celia was the real princess. The main problem in this story is that when her mother told her that she was not fit to be the queen of Kildenree, she has to marry the prince of Bayern. To get to Bayern though, you have to cross the forest that borders both Kildenree and Bayern. So Ani went with Celia and some of Ani’s mothers guards. When everyone was halfway across the forest, Celia and her group attacked on the few that were still faithful to Ani. Ani ran away and ended up at Bayern at last but it was too late. Celia already came and now everyone believes that she is the princess. Ani started working at the king’s palace. There she meets Geric, one of the prince’s solders; well that’s what he told her. He was actually the prince Ani was supposed to marry. She thinks its love but he says he can’t. Now it’s up to Ani to convince everyone that she is the real princess and that Celia is the fake before it is too late and also find out what’s up with Geric while she is at it. The problem is solved when Ani starts to work at the king’s palace as the goose girl to earn some money. While doing this she makes friends such as; henna Razo Conrad and a lot of other people. Ani reveals her secret to her friends and they made a plan to get back her identity from Celia. They all went to the place where the wedding of Celia and Geric were about having their wedding. Ani came in by telling the guards that she was “Ani’s” sister. When she came inside, she was surprised to find Geric. She explained the whole story to everyone and Celia was sentenced to death. I would recommend this book to a friend because this book shows that self confidence is very important in life. Ani built her self confidence along her journey. This book also shows that when you do the wrong thing, you always pay a price at the end, just like Celia did. Also that never ask more than you have.
