Larson, M. A. The Shadow Cadets of Pennyroyal Academy (Pennyroyal #2), 355
pages. Putnam (Penguin), 2016. $17. Language:
G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG.
Princess Cadet Evie has endured summer vacation with her
dragon family, but she is most eager to return to Pennyroyal Academy for
another year of princess training. While
paying a short visit to Demetra’s family, though, she witnesses three princess
(?!) attacking and murdering an innocent villager. When she arrives at the Academy, she tries to
tell the headmistress, but no one seems
to be listening. Year two of training is
no sinecure; in fact, it is more dangerous than the year before. And Evie’s friendships seem to be falling
apart, just as she needs her friends most.
With the Witch’s Night challenge approaching swiftly, Evie has to make
some bold moves to save her friendships and to save the entire Academy.
Wow! I would not want
to attend this princess academy! The
instructors are ruthless when it comes to culling the students down! Larson weaves an awesome tale of danger. Put this in the hands of Shannon Hale fans
immediately.
