About The Newbery Medal

The Newbery Medal is awarded annually by the American Library Association for the most distinguished American children's book published the previous year.

The Newbery Award thus became the first children's book award in the world. Its terms, as well as its long history, continue to make it the best known and most discussed children's book award in this country.

Princess Academy

This book was given a Newbery Honor and so it is not on my list of required books to read. However, it is definitely worth mentioning because I thought the story was sweet and would be a fantastic read for young girls. Any little girl that loves princesses would love this book. However, I also love that the girls in this story are brave and strong as well. The main character, Miri, is a delightful character that is easy to relate to. Love this one!
