Praise for Pennyroyal Academy
"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."--Reese Witherspoon "Pennyroyal Academy is one
of those books you want to parse out and make last. It is a
breathtakingly exciting novel, and Evie deserves a special place in
a new pantheon of capable, feisty, and yes, admirable literary
princesses."--The New York Times Book Review "Flashes of
inspiration light up a protagonist with plenty of spine . . . A
sequel-worthy debut."--Kirkus Reviews "Forget the notion of
traditional princesses . . . Larson has crafted a dark Grimm-like
fairy tale, with teens training to defeat evil, save villages, and
find their own identities in the process . . . Larson has left the
door open for a welcome second year at Pennyroyal with Evie and her
friends."--Booklist "[Larson] playfully nods to classic fairy tales
. . . but he also imbues the fantasy with an important, affirming
message for readers: 'You get to decide what you want to be. No one
else.'"--Publishers Weekly "A perfect fit for fans of Hale's
Princess Academy and the novels of Gail Carson Levine."--BCCB
