Alanna: The First Adventure

Alanna and her twin brother Thom are about to be shipped off to boarding school - or the equivalent in their country of Tortall. Thom is to go to the palace to become a knight and Alanna is off to the convent to become a Lady. Except that Thom wants to go to the convent to become a sorcerer and Alanna wants to be a knight.

They solve this small setback by forging a new letter from their father saying that they are twin boys. Thom gets to study magic and Alanna is off, in disguise, to become a knight.
