Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. It was recommended by Amy, my cute sister, who knows all about princesses...raising three of her own right now.
I kind of avoided this book at first because it sounded Disney-ish...but it's not at all. Although written for "young adults", it is a very well-crafted story about a mountain girl being educated to marry a prince and using her wits to save the day!

this book sounds cute. perfect to finish off summer. i just started another one of your picks, A Girl Named Zippy.
keep the good recommendations coming.. i may be slow, but i still love them!
I LOVE this book. Wait till you read Goose Girl. I actually like that a bit more, but really, it's a toss up.
And I also loved A Girl Named Zippy!
i blogged about the goose girl a while back-and just today was thinking i would look her up and see what else she has written. i'll have to find this one!
