Description: "A vivid retelling of a classic tale, full of love, justice, and empathy." - Emily B Martin author of the Creatures of Light series "This Middle Eastern-inspired retelling of "The Goose Girl" has much that will entice fantasy readers. A measured romance and an awareness of contemporary social issues elevate the text, but most alluring of all is Alyrra's strong, sensible heart." - Booklist "Immersive and captivating...[will] draw in fans of fantasy and slow-burn romance." - Kirkus Reviews "Set in a dark and dangerous world...well-written and dramatically told, teens will find much to love in a novel in which the princess grows to become a force to be reckoned with." - School Library Journal (starred review) "A quietly profound and beautiful fairytale retelling that I'll be recommending for years." - S A Chakraborty author of City of Brass "Lush and vividly imagined, THORN takes a folktale we think we know and turns it into something new: a story of and for our time, with lessons that will remain with readers long after they have finished the last, glorious pages." - G Willow Wilson author of The Bird King "Khanani's Thorn explores themes of resilience, responsibility, and identity in a darkly captivating retelling that is more than the sum of its parts. This is the kind of book that digs under your skin and makes a home, demanding reflection and frequent re-reads." - Tracy Banghart author of Grace and Fury "Thorn is a lovely atmospheric fairytale fantasy about a girl and her found family. I loved it!" - Gail Carriger, New York Times-bestselling author of the Parasol Protectorate and Finishing School series "Khanani beautifully crafts Alyrra's quiet but clear journey of self-definition... [Thorn] is sure to appeal to fans of Carson's The Girl of Fire and Thorns and Ahdieh's The Wrath and the Dawn." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
