About Princess Academy: The Graphic Novel...

The New York Times bestselling and Newbery-Honor winning classic, Princess Academy, by Shannon Hale, is reimagined as a graphic novel with stunning art from illustrator Victoria Ying.

Miri lives high atop Mount Eskel where, for generations, her ancestors have lived a simple life, working in the quarry. But everything changes when word arrives that the prince of the kingdom will choose his princess from among the village girls.

A makeshift academy is set up on the mountain and every eligible girl must attend and learn how to become a proper princess. Soon Miri finds herself confronted with a harsh academy mistress, bitter competition among the girls, and her own conflicting desires. Being chosen could give her everything she ever wanted, but does Miri really want to leave her home and family behind for a royal life?

Shannon Hale is the New York Times bestselling author of over fifty books for preschoolers, kids, teens, and adults, including award winning novels The Goose Girl, Book of a Thousand Days, Dangerous, and Newbery Honor recipient Princess Academy. She is the co-creator of the popular Princess in Black illustrated chapter books (with Dean Hale & LeUyen Pham). Her other graphic novels include Eisner-nominee Rapunzel's Revenge (Dean Hale & Nathan Hale), her bestselling memoirs Real Friends, Best Friends, and Friends Forever (LeUyen Pham), Dream On (Marcela Cespedes), and books for DC Comics about young Wonder Woman (Dean Hale & Victoria Ying). She lives in Utah with her four magnificent children and two ridiculous cats. Visit her at www.shannonhale.com
