Crashing the Party

This humorous chapter book follows Adele Helene, a privileged twelve-year-old from 18th-century Versailles, as she time-travels to contemporary America. She's placed with a host family and attends sixth grade, bringing her aristocratic expectations to a world completely unprepared for them. The story explores themes of cultural adjustment, self-discovery, and the challenges of fitting in, all wrapped in a lighthearted, fish-out-of-water narrative. It's a fun read for children aged 8-11, offering laughs and gentle lessons about empathy and adapting to new environments.

Traveling in time from eighteenth-century Versailles, aristocratic twelve-year-old Adele Helene joins the Lexington family in the twenty-first century in America, attends sixth grade at the Alice R. Quigley Middle School, and expects her host family to bow to her every whim.
