Princess Academy (re-read)

I decided to re-read Princess Academy by Shannon Hale because the sequel is coming out in a few months.  This book is about a girl named Miri who lives in the mountain village of Mount Eskel, far from the palace.  Then one day a messenger comes to their village, announcing that the priests have predicted that the future princess will come from their town.  Soon Miri and the other girls are sent off to a princess academy to prepare to meet the prince.  When danger comes to the academy, Miri has to find a way to use her talents to save her friends.

This is just a wonderful book.  Shannon Hale is a fabulous writer, and her books are just so engaging and beautifully written.  The setting and characters were just described so well that I could really imagine what was going on in the book.  I love the whole plot and just everything about the book.  I would highly recommend this book to everyone.
