Girls fight for each other in these books, not against one another. I haven’t changed my mind: I still think this is one of those series every child/pre-teenager should read: it’s fun, mysterious, entertaining and, above all, it teaches the best things. (These two characters are my babies and I just want them to be okay.) They’re the perfect balance between mischief and good morals and they’re brave and kind and wonderful. They care about their education as much as they care about everything bad happening to them and the people around them. It was interesting to see how Lottie was affected by everything that went down in the previous year at Rosewood and I’m glad the author didn’t forget that she is a just young girl who’s befriended a princess whose world is much different than hers.īoth Lottie and Ellie (the real princess) are truly the best examples for little girls and pre-teens: they’re strong, determined, intelligent and compassionate. Lottie, the main character, is not as naïve and sweet as she used to be and she is clearly suffering from anxiety after almost being kidnapped by a creepy group called Leviathan in the first book. Princess in Practice has more tension, drama and things going on than Undercover Princess but the main difference between the two books is the certain loss of innocence that can be felt from the first pages. And even though the second book felt slightly different than the first one, I absolutely adored it.

Anyone who’s talked to me about books knows how much I love Undercover Princess (book 1) and how excited I was for this second instalment.
