MS - ADVISABLE

Cecilia is a princess raised in exile in order to protect her from evil doers. Her best friend, Harper, challenges Cecilia to embrace her heritage and the pair head off to the palace to relieve the decoy princess of her duties. Instead, the pair find themselves imprisoned by that princess in a high tower and embroiled in a much more complicated scenario then they even thought. Everyone will have to take a stand and find untapped reservoirs of courage in order to solve this puzzle and rescue the kingdom.

Fans of Gal Carson Levine and of Hale's Princess Academy will flock to this title. It's not without its flaws, but it is very girl power.
