Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
5.0
When I first saw the title of this book I did a little inward groan. "Princess Academy?!" Seriously?! Thoughts immediatly went to other strange titles such as Vampire Academy and I dismissed the book as being silly and unworthy of my time.
However, one of the other librarians I know reccommended it so I gave it a go. And I will put my hands up in the air and admit- I was WRONG!
This book is everything I love about children's literature. It has a very strong female lead, someone little girls can admire and aspire to. It has some aspects of the fantastical in a fairy-tale setting and most of all, it teaches that obtaining knowledge and seeking answers to everyday questions will always win the day.
A great read for little girls ages 7 to 99!
