Academia prințeselor

Miri lives in a remote village on Mount Eskel. Her father will not let her work in the stone quarry. Priests say the prince’s future wife will come from her mountain. Miri starts to dream of life as a princess. But she cannot read, and royal life calls for new skills. A new school trains the village girls for this role. Bandits come to kidnap the prince’s bride-to-be. The girls must now face this threat. These events help Miri learn what she truly wants.

Shannon Hale wrote this fantasy novel for teens. It blends romance with adventure. A touch of magic shapes its mountain world. The story looks at family ties, learning, and love. It also asks what home means. Fear and loneliness mix with trust and care for others.

This is the first book in the Academia prințeselor trilogy. It has won the Utah Book and Vermont Golden Dome Book awards. The English original is Princess Academy. Emma Moldovan translated it into Romanian.
