SYNOPSIS: Miri lives on Mount Eskel with her father and sister. When the priests predict the future princess will be from Mount Eskel, all the girls of marrying age are sent to a Princess Academy to learn skills befitting a princess.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: I absolutely loved Princess Academy. It was well-written, with endearing, strong characters, and a great message. A well-deserved Newbery Honor winner. The second book was not as good, in my opinion, but readers who loved the first book will find themselves entertained by it as well.
RATING: PG for some mild violence
AUDIENCE: Children and Teens
STARS: 5
