Five top books about girls disguised as boys

Rae Carson's latest book is Walk on Earth a Stranger. At Tor.com she tagged five books about girls disguised as boys, including:
Alanna: The First Adventure, by Tamora Pierce

Alanna longs to be a knight, even though women aren’t allowed to be warriors in the world of Tortall. No problem—she’s got some trousers, and she’s not afraid to use them. This is a classic of young adult literature, the kind of book that is read and reread by children until the pages are ripped and the spine is in tatters.
