She's a royal on the run, as the PLOT thickens!
Life as a princess = a dream come true, right? Girl, please! Between palace rules, a mean queen-bee roomie at her posh boarding school, the ever-present paparazzi -- and, BTW, her unrequited crushing on Jonas -- Jenna feels superstressed, and finds herself wishing she were a plain old nobody again. Which is why she tries to run away . . . only to get trapped in a scheme to overthrow her uncle, the king!
Major drama.
Suddenly -- seriously? -- Jenna must stop a civil war. When all she really wants is her first kiss!
The charming sequel to THE PRINCESS PLOT!

KIRSTEN BOIE is the recipient of Germany's prestigious Jungen Pris and the bestselling author of several children's books. THE PRINCESS TRAP is the sequel to THE PRINCESS PLOT, her first novel to be published in English. She lives in Hamburg.
Gr 6-8–A year after the events in The Princess Plot (Scholastic, 2009), Princess Jenna's adjustment to her new boarding school, and her new country, is not going smoothly. When she sees an opportunity to escape during a lavish garden party, she runs away, planning to reunite with her best friend. What she doesn't plan on is that Perry, son of the Minister of the Interior, has also run away. Both of them are kidnapped and caught up in conspiracy to overthrow the king and incite a civil war. Frequent expository dialogue refreshes readers on the events of the first book, making it possible to jump straight into this one. While conspiracy stories often have many characters and plot twists, The Princess Trap gets particularly bogged down by its large cast and political maneuverings. In Jenna's and Perry's sections, their fears about their captors take a backseat to their predictable romantic troubles and contrived misunderstandings. The writing style is simplistic and at times awkward. Jenna's royal status doesn't factor into the plot much beyond a handy excuse for her kidnapping. Teens looking for princess stories will be better served by Meg Cabot's “The Princess Diaries” (HarperCollins) or Gail Carson Levine's novels.–Brandy Danner, Wilmington Memorial Library, MAα(c) Copyright 2010.
