There she must prepare three distant royal relatives for marriage to a prince. Language eng Summary Miri thought her time at the palace was over until she gets some last-minute homework from the King - she must travel to the farthest reaches of the Kingdom and set up her own Princess Academy. Readers will be sad to see Miri go but satisfied that she leaves on an ultimately happy and memorable note.Label The forgotten sisters Title The forgotten sisters Statement of responsibility Shannon Hale Creator Hale once again manages to create a cast of female characters diverse in their qualities and distinctly individual, offering an inclusive portrait of what girlhood and womanhood look like. She’s still the same wonderfully outspoken nonconformist, though, and her verbal takedown of several members of the royal family is both powerful and satisfying. The Forgotten Sisters, released earlier this week, is the third and final installment. That’s appropriate, given that Miri herself has matured quite a bit she has begun to recognize that good people are capable of terrible deeds and that forgiveness often comes in halting, sputtering steps. The Forgotten Sisters by Shannon Hale I just adore Shannon Hale ’s PRINCESS ACADEMY books for young readers. Hale’s conclusion to her popular series offers a satisfying wrap-up of the previous installments’ themes of friendship, female empowerment, and citizenship, but it also offers a slightly more sophisticated and mature look at the nuances of political strategy. The king’s cousins, however, live in the literal backwaters, and upon Miri’s arrival in the swampy area known as Lesser Alva, she finds three nearly feral sisters living on their own, a town that shuns them, and a host of secrets that could completely change the future of Danland and its rulers. In order to prevent war with a neighboring country, the king is offering up three of his distant cousins as potential brides for a political alliance, and he wants Miri to train them in the art of being princesses. A great read that I will definitely be recommending. Shannon Hale writes a great story and this did not disappoint. LibraryThing is a cataloging and social networking site for booklovers. In this final installment of Hale’s Princess Academy series ( Princess Academy, BCCB 9/05, etc.), Miri is prepping to return to her beloved mountain home and announce her betrothal to her childhood friend Peder when she is summoned by the king for an important task.
