Lowry, Lois The Birthday Ball, 185 pgs. Houghton Mifflin, 2010.
Content – G.
Princess Patricia Priscilla is bored. Bored, bored, bored. Worse still, in five days she will turn sixteen and be expected to pick a husband out of three equally repulsive suitors. So, Princess Pat trades clothes with her chambermaid to attend the village peasant school. Suddenly, she isn’t so bored anymore.
This is a light-hearted romp with great characters. The three suitors that the princess is expected to choose from are absolutely ridiculous and get their own hilarious chapters leading up to the birthday ball. This is a fun book
