A New York Times Bestseller
In this third book in New York Times bestselling, Newbery Honor-winning author Shannon Hale's Princess Academy series, Miri goes from student . . . to teacher!
Miri has spent a year at the palace, learning all about being a proper princess. But before she can return to her beloved Mount Eskel, the king has a task for her: Miri must travel to a distant swamp to start a princess academy for three sisters, cousins of the royal family. Unfortunately, Astrid, Felissa, and Sus are more interested in hunting and fishing than royal rules.
As Miri spends more time with the girls, she realizes the king and queen's interest in them hides a long-buried secret. Relying on her own strength and intelligence, Miri must unravel the mystery while protecting the sisters--and maybe then she can finally make her way home.

Reviews
"Action packed and wellpaced, the story's depth incorporates artful negotiation, the importance of education, and citizens' equality and rights. This final installment of The Princess Academy trilogy certainly leaves room for more books if Hale were so inclined. Won't she reconsider?" --starred review, Booklist
"Miri, as spunky and smart as ever, returns in the final book of the award-winning Princess Academy trilogy. . . . Hale maintains her high quality of storytelling, with lots of action, plot twists and lyrical writing. . . . A laudable conclusion to a popular series." --Kirkus Reviews
"Hale once again manages to create a cast of female characters diverse in their qualities and distinctly individual, offering an inclusive portrait of what girlhood and womanhood look like. " --BCCB
"Hale keeps the action taut and the young women smart and savvy. . . A decade after the Newbery Honor-winning Princess Academy was published, this third and possibly final installment in the series will please old and new fans alike." --School Library Journal
"As always, Hale is a terrific storyteller: she deftly juggles plot, character, and setting; her prose is lyrical yet economical; and the themes of feminism and equality that run throughout the trilogy blossom in the resolution of this concluding volume. Readers will be sad to say goodbye, not just to Miri and company but also to Danland itself." --The Horn Book
"Powerful and deeply engaging." --Kirkus Reviews on PALACE OF STONE
"Palace of Stone . . . proves once again that with quick wit and brave words, one person really can change the world." --School Library Journal on PALACE OF STONE
"The book is a fresh approach to the traditional princess story with unexpected plot twists and great emotional resonance." --2006 Newbery Committee on PRINCESS ACADEMY
"This is not a fluffy, predictable fairy tale. . . . Instead Hale weaves an intricate, multilayered story about families, relationships, education, and the place we call home." --starred review, School Library Journal on PRINCESS ACADEMY
