The Princess and the Peabodys

By Betty G. Birney

Book Overview

In the kingdom of Pine Glen . . . When a teenage wizard blunders a spell that sends a real, live medieval princess to the Peabodys' house, fourteen-year-old Casey Peabody is in for a royal mess! It was bad enough attending Pine Glen Junior High with a squad of cheerleading princesses. Now suddenly Casey has to contend with a real princess of her own. Her Highness, Princess Eglantine, is an expert at the three Ps : Prettiness , Perkiness , and Popularity -but she can't play soccer like Casey, and she hasn't got a clue about junior high! With ribbons in her hair and her nose in the air, the princess will need Casey to battle the cheerleaders . . . and though she doesn't know it yet, Casey will need the princess, too. With laughs at every turn, this magical tale proves that you don't have to wear a tiara or be a great soccer player to be cool. It doesn't take a wizard's spell to figure it out: Confident girls rule!

Fun read

I read this before I sent it to my great niece and I really liked the story and I thought it was a good book for a mature 5th grader.
