title: Stealing Princes: Calypso Chronicles, Book 2
author:  Tyne O'Connell 
description: Grade 7-10In this sequel to <i>Pulling Princes</i> (Bloomsbury, 2004), Calypso, an almost 15-year-old California girl who is attending boarding school in England, looks forward to continuing her budding romance with Prince Freddieuntil her archenemy and current roommate, Honey O'Hare, begins to meddle in her affairs, convincing her that their other roomie, beautiful and refined Lady Portia, has her sights set on the royal heir. Told with humor through Calypso's eyes, this novel is filled with characters who are only concerned about boys, the up-and-coming in society, and being catty to one another. This book will be best understood by readers familiar with the first installment, which gives more background on the narrator's style and why she struggles so much to fit into this upper-class crowd. Both titles can be described as British spin-offs of Cecily von Ziegesar's Gossip Girl series (Little, Brown), complete with the status symbols and adultlike activities for posh and privileged teenagers. Purchase only where <i>Pulling Princes</i> is popular.<i>Nicole Marcuccilli Mills, Glenview Public Library, IL</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
