About This Book
This humorous chapter book introduces a sixteen-year-old American girl whose ordinary life takes an extraordinary turn when she discovers she is a princess. Whisked away to a small European kingdom, she's expected to embrace her royal duties and marry a prince she finds distasteful. Determined to reclaim her freedom, she embarks on a comical mission to become the most unbearable royal pain imaginable, hoping her antics will lead to her swift return to Kansas. It's a fun read for middle-grade children exploring themes of identity, independence, and standing up for oneself, all wrapped in a lighthearted, rebellious package.
A sixteen-year-old in Kansas, who discovers she is really a princess, is taken to a tiny European monarchy to assume her duties and marry a distasteful neighboring prince, and in the ensuing weeks tries to become such a "royal pain" that everyone will want to be rid of her.
