Undercover Princess is all about learning, making mistakes, dealing with the consequences, and then repeating the whole process, time and time again. This story is the beginning of these two girls’ journey through the mountains and valleys of adolescence and it is a series of important lessons that every girl will eventually learn when they begin their own. And so does Lottie Pumpkin, the girl with the fairytalish name, who is yet to discover who she really is and what she is capable of. The only spoiler I can’t keep for myself is that she ends up finding both not the way she expected or even the way she needed them, but she does. The reader is informed that there is nothing special about Princess Eleanor Wolfson but that she is in need of a special place, as well as of someone magical. The book starts with a beautiful insight on the magic that can, sometimes, be part of a place or even a person. It’s a story that is also a reminder of how important true friendship can be and how difficult it is to keep it safe when times get hard. It’s a story that gloriously destroys stereotypes. It’s a story about a naïve but very intelligent girl whose heart is so big and pure that she allows herself to be in danger so that her friend isn’t. Undercover Princess is not just a funny story about a girl who pretends to be a princess so that her friend who is actually a princess can be safe from harm. She must do everything she can to help Ellie keep her secret, but with school, the looming Maradovian ball and the mysterious new boy Jamie, she’ll soon discover that reality doesn’t always have the happily ever after you’d expect…Ī thrilling world of parties, politics and bad ass princesses, this is the first book in the brand new series THE ROSEWOOD CHRONICLES.įrom Goodreads Undercover Princess by Connie Glynn ARC by Penguin Random House UK
