Princess Academy

Hale, Shannon. Princess Academy. NY: Bloomsbury, 2005. 314 pages. (Fanatsy)

Princess Academy is more than a name;
In this book it's a school.
This is a story of a young girl,
At the age of fourteen,
Miri,
who lives on a mountain.

Each year Miri gets older
Like the winter that comes and goes;
She is afraid of one terrible day,
The day the lowlanders come to snatch her away.

She is scared to go where all girls,
But her sister
Must go for she is being taken to a
Princess Academy.

In the academy one will be chosen, who will it be?
That one special girl will marry a prince;
She’ll live in a palace and be quite content.

There is but a twist, the Academy princess,
A position most wanted,
That girl gets a gown of silver and pink
To wear to the ball

Oh, what the prince must think
Of that girl!

Now Miri wants to be chosen,
That is until another love had risen.
Now Miri must choose to stay a mountain girl
Or marry a lowlander prince.

The girl the prince wants
Is the girl be chosen.
The girl he wants must be one or another.

Though one last twist
Brings the story near a close:
Trouble's afoot for the prince never choose.
Will he be back or will he stay gone?
Read the book to find out and it won’t do you wrong...

I liked this book because it was an easy read and fun too! If you like action and fighting, this isn’t that book, but if you want friendship and loyalty, this is a great book. This book has a little action but not too much. It also is a fast read! Even if you don’t want to read this book, you should still pick up a book and read.
