![]() ![]() Stand alone or series: Book 1 in the Princess Academy series 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. 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. ![]() The king’s ministers set up an academy on the mountain, and every teenage girl must attend and learn how to become a princess. In a year’s time, the prince himself will come and choose his bride from among the girls of the village. Then word comes that the king’s priests have divined her small village the home of the future princess. Miri lives on a mountain where, for generations, her ancestors have quarried stone and lived a simple life. This fall, with the release of Palace of Stone, I finally decided it was time to dive into Miri’s story. Still, it took me a while to read her Newbery Honor book, Princess Academy. ![]() I’ve been a fan of Shannon Hale’s ever since I first read the Books of Bayern a few years back. ![]()
