In a world where only the strongest and bravest get to be princesses, what Evie most excels at is incompetence.
Despite escaping from a horrible witch and helping to save handsome Prince Remington, Evie still has no idea who she is or where she comes from. All she knows is that she must survive her training at Pennyroyal Academy. It's where today's "bold, courageous youths" learn to become "tomorrow's princesses and knights." But poor Evie is clumsy. She can't remember the fairy tales, and she keeps passing out from strange visions. Nobody thinks she is proper princess material. Ultimately, Evie must learn to believe in herself, and call upon all of her courage and compassion, if she is to have any hope of making it out alive.
Populated by evil witches, dangerous dragons and the occasional Fairy Drillsergeant, Pennyroyal Academy is a fun and fantastic tale. --Lynn Becker, host of Book Talk, the monthly online discussion of children's books for the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators
