Kel, short for Kelandry, is a young girl who wants to be a knight. In the kingdom of Tortall, this is unusual, and had been forbidden for hundreds of years. However, a brave girl before her had secretively journeyed from page to Lady Knight, and had paved the way for other girls to try for the title.
Kel is the first. Can she pass the "First Test"?
First Test is one of my favorite books. It was written by Tamora Pierce, who also wrote "The Alanna Series." Hopefully we will get to read all four chapters of Kel's story together, and discuss what we think of the book!
"First Test" is appropriately titled, as Kel is put on a 'probationary period' to test her willingness to become a knight. In Kel's eyes, this is extremely humiliating as no one has ever gone through a probation before-this is the first test she must pass to prove her resolve to become the second Lady Knight of Tortall.
