(Juvenile Fiction - J Symessm)
Callie is a nonbinary 12-year-old who is determined to become a knight, despite living in a kingdom where only boys are allowed to train as knights and only girls can learn magic. As Callie trains and makes friends with others who want to fix the injustices in the kingdom, they find themselves embroiled in an ancient war. However, victory over the witches and dragons will require the friends to defeat the bigotry within their own kingdom—and even their families—first. Recommended for ages 9–12.
