The Undercover Princess (Rosewood Chronicles #1)

Rooming together at posh British boarding school Rosewood Hall are Ellie Wolf, Crown Princess of Maradova, who is masquerading as a normal girl, and Lottie Pumpkin, a normal girl who masquerades as the Princess of Maradova to protect Ellie's anonymity. When Rosewood starts buzzing about royalty-in-hiding in attendance, and someone leaves threatening messages for the fake princess, life becomes filled with intrigue for both girls--each new threat becomes more menacing as the person behind them gets closer to revealing Ellie's secret. Lottie is full of fairy tale fantasies, and Ellie loathes her princesshood, making them both an unlikely pair and a perfect match. Unflappably upbeat Lottie proves herself valiant when danger arises, willing to face down Ellie's enemies with the bravest of hearts. Morose and unfriendly Ellie, meanwhile, proves herself good-hearted. With a message of kindness, YouTube star Glynn's middle grade debut, a series opener, is a story of devoted friendship and fierce loyalty that is sure to win readers over. Ages 8-12. (Sept.)
