I had a really, REALLY hard time choosing a favorite book. I have so many! In the end though, it was between The Sword of the Rightful King and The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine. I finally decided that SotRK should be the one I write about, and here's why!
This is seriously one of the best young adult novels I have ever read. It's full of adventure, suspense, magic, bravery, romance, friendship, murder, and more. Here's a summary of it...
The newly crowned King Arthur is unsure of himself; worse, the people are unsure of him. Too many people want the throne, and treachery is everywhere. Merlin must do something before the king is betrayed, or murdered, or — worst of all — gets married. So Merlin magically places a sword into a slab of rock, lets it be known that whosoever removes the blade will rule all of England, and invites any man who would dare, to try to pull out the sword.

After a bit of showmanship, Arthur will draw the blade (with a little magical help, of course), and the people will rally around the young king. Except someone else pulls the sword out first....
Oh my goodness! I love it! The plot of this book is amazing, and no matter how many times I read it(and i've already read it at least 7 times), the ending always shocks me. If you haven't read it, you should really consider borrowing it from your library, because it is FANTASTIC.
