![]() ![]() Forced to face off against three half siblings and the queen, peasant unrest, barbarian attacks, and a very choose-your-own-adventure style gaming experience, Giannine knows she’s in for a challenging game. Giannine settles on a game entitled Heir Apparent and is promptly cast into the role of shepherd’s daughter who discovers, after the death of the king, that her parents are only her foster parents, she is the secret bastard child of the king and his former mistress, and she must return to the palace to claim her rightful place as heir to the throne. The novel is set in a futuristic society not far outside the realms of our own reality in which public busses speak and can be spoken to (but aren’t very intelligent) and arcades house immersive virtual reality games. Heir Apparent follows 14-year-old Giannine Bellisario as she ventures to an arcade for her birthday. It’s everything I want, ties in so beautifully with some of my most excitingly dramatic fantasies, and I JUST WANT IT TO BE MADE INTO A MOVIE SOSOSOSOSO BAD! ![]() ![]() Even now, at the geriatric old age of 24, I still absolutely adore this story. I read it for the first time when I was in middle school and I’ve read it several times since. I really don’t think you guys understand how much I mean it when I say: This is seriously one of my favorite books of all time. ![]()
