Pennyroyal Academy

Pennyroyal Academy by M.A. Larson, 314 pages

A nameless girl shows up at the academy in the company of a would-be knight.  He seeks knight training while she hopes to become a princess.  Given the name, Evie, the girl works hard to become a princess who will fight witches, but she has a hard time understanding everything, since, as we find, out she was raised by dragons.  Because knights fight and kill dragons, she is also conflicted about her status at the academy, which also trains knights, and about how she feels towards Remington, who helped her to get to the academy.  The longer Evie is there, the more she feels like she is where she belongs, but others, such as Fairy Drillsergeant and another princess candidate, Malora, seem to disagree.  A fun fantasy that many older kids will probably enjoy.
