Then word comes that the king's priests have divined her small village the home of the future princess. In a year's time, the prince himself will come and choose his bride from among the girls of the village. The king's ministers set up an academy on the mountain, and every teenage girl must attend and learn how to become a princess. Miri soon finds herself confronted with a harsh academy mistress, bitter competition among the girls, and her own conflicting desires to be chosen and win the heart of her childhood best friend. But when bandits seek out the academy to kidnap the future princess, Miri must rally the girls together and use a power unique to the mountain dwellers to save herself and her classmates. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - NEW BOOKTHIS BOOK IS IN GREAT CONDITION. AS FAR AS THE ACTUAL BOOK ITSELF I BOUGHT IT AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR A 10 YEAR OLD GIRL. SO I HAVE NOT READ IT. BUT IT LOOKS REALLY CUTE. Rating:  - Great ReadThis is a fun tale featuring a young mountain girl, Miri, forced to undergo Princess training as a potential bride to the prince. The only thing I didn't like about the book was the title, everything else was great. The characters were all complex and believable and the pacing was first rate. I couldn't put the book down and was sad when it ended. Rating: - A fun read with a somewhat unexpected endingThis is another of my "good, clean fun" favorite books. The characters are engaging and the storyline doesn't turn out like you'd expect. The world-building is good, and the pacing is excellent. It's a book that leaves you feeling good. Genre Reviews http://genrereviews.blogspot.com/ Rating: - Ignore the title and we'll be okayI really liked Shannon Hale's "Goose Girl" (I expected it to be terrible - it was not). Banking on that, I picked up "Princess Academy" and the fact that Miri was a name I was once oddly obsessed with. The plot seemed sort of silly and the title ridiculous but I said, "What the hey, I'll give this over-girly looking book a shot." Once again, as with "Goose Girl", I'm glad I gave Hale a chance. She's twice now managed to take seemingly stupid remakes of fairy tales into funny, absolutely ...

Shannon Hale has a wonderful way of weaving words and capturing the imagination.
