Bondoux, Anne-Laure The Princetta 430 p. Bloomsbury -
MS- ADVISABLE
Malva, aleady discontented with her life as a princess, now finds that she is to wed a man many years older. With the help of her tutor and her maid, she escapes - only that her tutor has set her up to die. Thus begins a high seas adventure of self-discovery, taking the Princetta into danger many times over, but also helping her discover several loyal friends, and to discover where her heart and her duty lie.
I especially liked that the ending was completely unexpected. The old-fashioned looking cover may not draw in many students on it's own, but a little marketing should help this book find its audience. Readers of Tamora Pierce will also enjoy this.
