Synopsis


Valerie Winslow never thought life in the tiny country of Schwerinborg could be so great.

But then she never thought she would be dating the prince of Schwerinborg either! Georg, a real prince, is also her first real boyfriend.

And then everything falls apart. Georg's decided they need to cool off for a while and her dad's sending her back to Virginia to visit her mom.

Valerie's bummed -- until she decides to go out with her old crush, David Anderson. David may not be a prince, but maybe he'll take her mind off of Georg -- or will he?

School Library Journal

Gr 6-9-In this sequel to Royally Jacked (S & S, 2004), Valerie, who lives with her father, is happy in Schwerinborg with her new boyfriend, Prince Georg. When rumors begin to fly about them, he tells her they have to cool it. On winter break, she returns to Virginia and stays with her gay mother, spends time with friends, and goes out with her old crush, David. Then she is faced with a dilemma-should she go back to Schwerinborg and pursue her relationship with Georg or remain in Virginia with David? Situations and characters are similar to those found in Meg Cabot's "Princess Diaries" books. Those who wish to escape into a modern-day fairy-tale romance will enjoy this fact-paced novel.-Denise Moore, O'Gorman Junior High School, Sioux Falls, SD Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
