Caroline B. Cooney brings to life this epic tale of one girlâs courage.
At age six Anaxandra is taken by King Nicander to be a companion to his crippled daughter on the island of Siphnos. Anaxandra has adjusted to her new life when, six years later, Siphnos is sacked by pirates, and she is the sole survivor. When a fleet of ships stops on the island to investigate, she assumes the identity of Princess Callisto to survive. The ships belong to Menelaus, king of Sparta, and he takes her back to Sparta with him. But Helen, wife of
Menelaus, does not believe that this child is Princess Callisto. Anaxandra manages to stay out of harmâs wayâuntil Paris and Aeneas arrive. When Menelaus and his men depart to attend his grandfatherâs funeral, Paris and Helenâs passionate affair plunges Sparta and Troy into war.
