I love the tropes of princess being ‘normal’ and accidental/unknown princess so this novel was totally up my street.
I fully indulged my young teen self and just enjoyed indulging myself in fantasies of boarding schools, and all things princess. It’s not aimed at adults and it’s meant to be full of sometimes annoying, self-centred and lost characters because let’s face it – that’s life as an 14 year old (year 10). I think the most important thing to try and do is put yourself in the position of that age group.
I enjoyed reading this as an adult but I know I would have adored it as a youngster – pining to be sent to Rosewood to study and live. It’s a series that takes the Blyton-esque charm and fun of boarding school stories such as St Clair’s and Mallory Towers and brings them into the modern times. Undercover Princess is the first in a series aimed at the older end of middle grade and younger end of YA. 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.
