Princess Academy by Shannon Hale

This book is about a girl named Miri who is from a small town in the mountains called Mount Eskel and who goes to a Princess Academy. Princess Academy is a place where princesses go for training and education.  She is sad because she is leaving her dad. She goes there to get training on how to be a royal princess. At this school, she finds herself among other girls who are very bitter and rude to her and there is a great deal of competition.  I like this book because it is a about a princess and her experiences and challenges.
