NOT just another princess story. An entire group of young mountain girls are forced to train for a year to meet the prince. One "lucky"? girl will be chosen as his bride. Young love, the importance of family and heritage, bandits, strength and the importance of communication all play an important part in this great read.

We think that Princess Academy is about a girl who goes to a academy for princesses to be a princess for she can marry a prince, through the academy they faced many challenges and hardships as they are forced to adapt to the cultured life of a lowlander. Throughout these ordeals, Miri's courage, intelligence, and talent shines through. She leads her classmates in the fight against being treated as social inferiors in the academy.

We think the book is about a bunch of snotty, rich girls go to an academy to learn to be better people, and to learn how to be proper and kind.

The book is really about a 14-year-old girl named Miri who thought she would grow up to work in the mining linder. She eventually learns that a prince is going to choose his bride soon, and she goes to an academy to learn how to be a princess. She comes up wth a ''quarry speech'' and leads her classmates in the fight against being treated as social inferiors in the academy. This is a suspensful, funny, book that the whole family will enjoy!

We think that Princess Academy will be about a young girl who goes to an Academy for princesses. The young miss might encounter hard challenges and will need to focus on her studies to get through them.

Princess Academy is really about young mountain women who are forced to an academy to learn how to be princesses. They fight against being social outcasts. This book is full of suspense, laughter, and much much more!

The Lightning Thief is most likely to be about a boy trying to find a man that is the lightning thief and will give him the lightining bolt and answers to his past.

The Lightining Thief is really about a boy that is the son of Poisadon. Poisadon stole the lightning bolt of Zeus and the boy is going on a quest to find the lightning bolt of Zeus before a God war starts.

Prediction-Based on the title we think Princess Academy's about a girl whos a tomboy, and gets sent to an all girls school to be more lady like!

True Story- Princess Academy is about a group of mountain girls that get trained to be a princess. After their transformation the Prince will choose his Princess.

I think the author named this book Princess Academy because this book is about a girl named Miri who would never think she would become a princess, until, the prince says that he is going to pick his bride from the village! Miri and the other girls in the village always thought that their future would be working in the quarry. She was one of the girls choseb to be put in an academy that is basicaly training her to be a proper princess. Then after the training, the prince will then choose his bride.

The author titled this book, Princess Academy, because it is about 14 year old Miri that attends to a special academy that teaches them how to deal with life of a lowlander. Miri never thought that she would be a princess until a prince announces that he will choose a bride from the village.

Befor I read: The author named this story, the princess academy, because its sounds like its about a bunch of girls who go to a school to become princeses.

After I read: This story seems like cinderella, except that it doesnt have any evil step mothers or sisters, but it is about a girl who gets a perfect chance to marry this handsome prince.
