What this book is about
Fourteen-year-old Miri lives in a mountain village whose quarry stone is prized by the capital. When a prophecy says the prince will take his bride from her village, all the girls are required to attend a newly established academy. Miri resents the disruption but discovers a gift for learning—and for leadership—in Shannon Hale's warm, Newbery Honor fantasy that celebrates intelligence, community, and the courage to speak up.
