By Shannon HaleOh, this book needs a series, at the end I was so sad, and wanted MORE! Miri is SO lovable, she is the every girl! Not the popular/beautiful girl that we all envy and secretly hate, she is us... she is me! The looser who no one understands... and yet in the end...! (you have to read it!)
This book is perfect for any girl, any age, who has ever dreamed of becoming a princess!
Miri lives on a mountain where, for generations, her ancestors have quarried stone and lived a simple life. 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.
