Shortlisted of the Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults (YALSA) 2013
Fourteen-year-old Miri lives on a mountain where her ancestors have quarried stone and lived in poverty for generations. Then just before winter's first snowfall, a delegation from the lowlands arrive with exciting news. The king's priests have divined that her small village is the home of the future princess. In a year's time, the prince will come himself and chose his bride from among the girls of the village. The king's ministers set up an academy on the mountain, where every girl of age will be sent to learn the skills of a princess. But there is no way Miri can prepare herself for what lies in store.

Shannon Hale's books reignite my love of reading – that joy of having the time of my life with a great story.
Stephenie Meyer, author of TWILIGHT
This is not a fluffy, predictable fairy tale ... Instead Hale weaves an intricate, multilayered story about families, relationships, education, and the place we call home.
SLJ, starred review for PRINCESS ACADEMY
The book is a fresh approach to the traditional princess story with unexpected plot twists and great emotional resonance.
