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.3299770book2005Princess Academytotal:14735|5:5368|4:6165|3:2698|2:411|1:92|1473560513182563237512falsefalseTue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007Sat Nov 10 13:16:35 -0800 2007Tue Feb 19 20:08:10 -0800 2008 But all that changed with Princess...more...]]>
