Pennyroyal Academy
By Brenda Anderson, Children's Librarian
Set in Grimm’s fairy-tale world, Pennyroyal Academy is recruiting courageous young people to be trained to become tomorrow’s knights and princesses. Reese Witherspoon recommends this series with the words: “M. A. Larson has created a magical world of adventure -- a world that shows who princesses truly are: people of character and courage and strength. No one rescues Pennyroyal princesses; they rescue themselves.”
This trilogy is even better than Princess Academy by Shannon Hale and is reminiscent of my favorite, Runaway Princess by Patricia Coombs. The setting of Pennyroyal Academy is a generation or two after the famous fairy tales have taken place and a war is being waged by the menaces of the day, witches and dragons. The plot is suspenseful and not predictable by any means.
The third and final book in this series, The Warrior Princess of Pennyroyal Academy, comes out in August 2017.
