    It's amazing. You would never expect this thing from a princess. I love this book so much I read this 7 times. Miri is the most amazing character in any book!

  • Mairead, age 13 of Boston, MA
    I just read Princess Academy and before I read it, I thought, "Here goes another princess saving the day!" but it's different! I loved it and it had really good lessons, like how Miri befriended Britta. I definetly give it 5 toes!

  • Abrienna, age 12 of Encinitas, CA
    Like all books, this one is a little boring at the beginning, but keep reading and you'll be turning pages all night!

  • Jyllea, age 14
    This is one of the best books. The plot is never bland, and it gets foing pretty fast. I even use some of the rules from the conversation and diplomacy lessons somtimes.

  • Alina, age 11 of Plainsboro, NJ

  • Maddy, age 12 of San Diego, CA

  • Rachelle, age 14 of Kaysville, UT
    I loved this book. It showed the other side of regular civilization down in the lowlands. People of Mt. Eskel hd to work together to survive.

  • Anna, age 13 of Matthews, NC
    I love this book! I have to agree with everybody though, the begining is pretty boring. But from the secound chapter on, you were hooked. Everything and everybody was so "mysterious" in the book I had to keep reading It! 6 toes!

  • Nic, age 13
    I loved this book! It was amazing. Some parts were a little slow, but it was still a great book. Love, courage, friendship, honor, strength, hope; it's all in this spellbinding tale.

  • T, age 12 of Waterloo, IA
    Dear zoom, I think princess Academy is a very nice and different book. It is so exciting! Shanon Hale was the author of the book. She wrote another book called The Goose Girl. It was the best book I had ever read.

  • Miley, age 14

  • Rachael, age 12 of Corcoran, MN
    Who ever didn't like this book is crazy! I loved it! I didn't like it as much as her "Bayern Books" but it was still good.

  • Shani, age 11 of Willow Springs, NC
    Princess Academy is an extraordinary book written by one of my favorite authors. It has a good storyline and characters and a great plot and climax. The dialogue and setting are both great. All in all, it's an exciting, enchanting, funny, dangerous, fantastic new novel.

  • Emily, age 10 of Toronto, ON
    I love this book! It has a very interesting plot that involves a lot of twistes and turns making the book impossible to put down. The characters are very easy to realate to. They have feelings that I too would have if I were in their shoes. When Miri makes her daring attempts to rescue not only herself, but also the other girls at the academy, you are thrust into a remarkable story that you wish would never end. I have also recommended this book to some of my friends and I have had very, very, very positive feedback. They felt the exact same way as me! And, why wouldn't they? 'Princess Academy' has won the 'Newberry Honour Book" award and is a 'New York Times Best Seller'. It is clear that it is a favorite of many girls and boys. Yes, that is right. I said girls and boys. Don't let the word "princess" scare you. It is not femine in any means. Although the main character, Miri, may be a girl the story is absolutley NOT "girly". I mean, 'Harry Potter' is a boy and girls still read his story. So, next time you are at the library, or bookstore or are searching your siblings room for a book to read try "Princess Academy"! I garuntee you will NOT be disapointed.

    Once I got through the first two chapters of this book, I couldn't put it down! It was really good, so don't stop reading if the beginning is a little slow.

  • Kathy, age 12 of Roanoke, VA
    I know it's boring at first, but KEEP READING!!! It gets so much better. I couldn't put it down!

  • Manisha, age 10 of Madison, MS
    This is a really good book. I love the names. They are so cool. At first I didn't really want to read it, but once I did, I LOVED IT!!! My favorite part was at the end when those people attacked the school. FIVE TOES! Read this book.

  • Gracie, age 12 of Greenville, SC
    This book was awsome! I like how the girl saved everyone, and best of all, she didn't marry the prince like in most other books.

  • Luna of Denver, CO
    I don't like this book. It is sooo boring!

  • Anna, age 11 of Jefferson, GA
    I liked it!! It was a great story!!!

  • Sara, age 12 of Hudson, IA
    The Princess Academy is awesome! I love the names. They are so original!

  • Alexandra, age 12 of NC
    Excellent. I loved the other books by this author as well. If you loved 'Princess Academy,' you'll love 'Goose Girl' or 'Enna Burning.'

  • Lauren, age 12 of Nicholasville, KY
    This is a really good book. I even convinced my friend to read it-- and of course-- she loved it too! I mean, come on, who wouldn't???

  • Kelly, age 11 of Jessup, PA
    I absulutly LOVED this book!!! One of my favs, definatly!

  • Azula, age 15 of Firiatonaii, HI
    I thought it was a very good book, and so original, which is a mega bonus. I didn't quite like it as much as "The Goose Girl" (by the same author) but it was still very good.

  • Kathrine, age 12 of Hebron, NE
    I loved It! Miri was great!

  • Trania, age 6 of Coon Rapids, MN

  • ZOOM Fan, age 10 of Edmonton, AB
    Great book I read it... Its about a girl who... Wants... Sad... Father... Sister... Evil teacher those are just some words to explain the story it rocks it is a yrca (canadian schools) (i think!)

  • Layla, age 12
    I loved this book! The beggining was slow, but it was a great book overall, that I enjoyed a lot.

  • Grace, age 11 of Simpsonville, SC
    This is a really good book. I think the best thing about it is that it isn't your every day fairy-tale; the ending isn't at all predictable. Although, I think the way Stephan and Britta act around each other is kind of corny. If you liked Ella Enchanted, then you'll like this book. 4 toes!
