Thsi book was REALLY GOOD! i HAD BOUGHT THE BOOK (301 PAGES) and i sat on the couch for about 5 hours. because I could not stop reading it! TRUE STORY The one death as posted above was to a bandit that held the main character and threatened to kill her, he fell off a cliff, (no blood at all)So as like most comments I would say everything about the book, that will be a spoiler. So I could say is GET THIS BOOK NOW!
I love this book! It has all the best things a book could have: action. romance (not yucky stuff), and you can understand how the characters feel! This book is by far one of my faves!
Nice book but, worried about the younger kids understanding!
From a teen/tween point of view this book is awesome. For a parent's point of view (I am not a parent) this book relly doesn't teach a lesson, but, it has a lesson in it. I don't think that it is for 9 year olds because at that age some girls might have a problem understanding the romance, trading, complicated words, and also the quarry speech. For a 14 year old some things took me a little while to put together but I got it. This book is a book that you would say uses "Girl power" as i would say!
i only say eight and up because younger kids may have a hard time understanding it, not because of the content. If you have a six or seven year old who loves to read, this book is great! I remember picking this up in the book store and loving it after reading the first chapter!
I had to read a Newbery book for my seventh grade English class. I chose it because it had a girly appeal. I landed up really
enjoying it, the story was very cute.
This book is a perfect blend of adventure, romance, and girl power. Overall a perfect read for 5th-8th grade I'd say. I remember loving every bit of this books content, not one problem. I read this when I was 11, and thought it was awesome then and still do. Shannon Hale is a very talented author I recommend all her books. Her books are unlike the other tween books out their with very imaginative settings and far away places. Its the ideal read for a comfy weekend curled up on the couch. I read this in days!
i read this book when i was twelve; and loved it! it follows the story of a girl called miri as she is forced to enroll in the princess academy with many others. the girls must prepare for the prince to choose a bride. the mountain girls are un-educated and struggle to learn. although miri is unfairly punished in the first part of the book, she stays in at break to study (a good role model). kids who are as young as seven can read this book, but probably won't want to. great for kids!
love it
i'm 16 & read this book this past summer as a joke my friend gave me it.. but i loved the stroy line & what i got out of it. so i passed it on to my 9yr old sister
