Princess Academy Shannon Hale

Life on Mount Eskel is hard, but for 14-year-old Miri the mountain is home. Then a messenger from the king stuns the village by announcing that priests have divined that the prince's bride-to-be must come from Mount Eskel. All too quickly Miri and the other girls of her village are bundled off to receive special training in how to be a princessthough, of course, only one of them can be chosen.
