A new student review of Princess DisGrace: A Royal Disaster by Lou Kuenzler

Jowill posted a new student review of Princess DisGrace: A Royal Disaster by Lou Kuenzler. See the full review.

This book was so much fun to read!  I can't wait to read other titles in the series.  The spunky Grace will really appeal to young girls, and who doesn't love a unicorn!  Just the 3 rules stated on the back will entice readers:

Rules for being a princess:

1. Your name must be on the Fairy Godmother's list

2. You must always be elegant and graceful (a problem for Grace?)

3.  A unicorn must choose you (That's my favorite!)

This humorous tale has an endearing main character, and the supporting characters help make Grace's experience a fun and exciting adventure. There is a positive message about self-confidence and loyalty.

Some vocabulary words, like deportment, pinafore and presume, might be too difficult for younger readers, but readers will still be able to follow along and enjoy the story despite not understanding a word or two.
