Princess Academy- Mount Eskel

Place(s)~
In princess academy every little place makes a difference. There is the Academy, there is mount Eskel and there is the quarry.
The Academy: The academy is the place were every girl under 17 and 3 months can attend. It's were the girls are trained and taut how to be a princess. Not only that but it gives them other information that is use full to them in their everyday life.
Mount Eskel: Mount Eskel is the mountain were Miri lives, in Danland. Another area in Danland is called the lowlands. The lowlanders are thought better and more important than the mountain people. Without the Mountain people though, there would be no Linder. The linder is something very important to the kings and queens of the lowlands, they make their palaces of only linder. The linder is only found on Mount Eskel.
The Quarry: The quarry is a place Miri is forbidden to go when everyone else can. It's were they mine and cut linder. It's were the Quarry speech was discovered and what Miri is most curious about.

The time~
I think Princess academy is set in the past. It's hard to tell because it is not set in any place I know of, but the technology and techniques the mountain people use make me think it is in the past.

Notes~
I think the Setting of the book is the most improtant thing in the book. Every little detail of the land effects the charecters lives.

Shaila-
In the type of book you're reading, sometimes the setting is difficult to determine, or explain, because it's very fictional, and far removed from anything we are familiar with. You do a nice job explaining the importance of each place, and inferring the time period. Nice job!
