We can, of course, dismiss the critique and ignore the opportunity presented by the authors if we so choose. But if the entrenched architects of my generation do, I am confident that the next generation of city-makers will not because, like Imrie and Street, they already glimpse the creative potential of interdisciplinary invention. Flap High on the slopes of Mount Eskel, Miris family has lived forever, pounding a meager living from the stone of the mountain itself. Miri dreams of working alongside the others in the quarry, but she has never been allowed to work there-perhaps, she thinks, because she is so small. Then word comes from the lowlands: the kings priests have divined that the princes bride-to-be-the next princess-will come from Mount Eskel. The prince himself will travel to the village to choose his bride, but first all eligible girls must attend a makeshift academy to prepare for royal lowlander life. At the school, Miri finds herself confronting both bitter competition among the girls and her own conflicted desires to be chosen. Yet when danger comes to the academy, it is Miri, named for a tiny mountain flower, who must find a way to save her classmates-and the chance for the future that each of them is eager to secure as her own. From acclaimed author Shannon Hale comes a richly imagined new novel about would-be princesses and the destiny of one small but determined girl.
