A review by frostap
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale

3.0

My rating is the average of Adult Amanda's (two stars) and 9-year-old Amanda's (four stars). This book was diverting and the young characters didn't completely annoy me, but I could not get on board with the "quarry speak". This won a Newbery? I can see how it would be appealing to young girls, though, and, while not the American Girl books of my youth, is not the worst book written for that set.
