title: Dueling Princes: The Calypso Chronicles, Book 3
author:  Tyne O'Connell 
description: Grade 7-10This third book about Calypso follows her attempts to manage her life while dealing with her parents' sudden and unexpected marital issues. An American in an English boarding school, she simply wants to earn a spot on the national fencing team and keep up with her boyfriend, Prince Frederick. Then her mother suddenly shows up on her doorstep. Calypso's first-person narration comes off like a British teen trying to sound American rather than the other way around, which is a bit jarring. The dialogue is snappy but the author does little to set the scenes or help readers navigate through myriad sketchily defined minor characters. Meg Cabot's The Princess Diaries and Louise Rennison's Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series are better choices.<i>Adrienne Furness, Webster Public Library, NY</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  grind Fallon underfoot, he draws the simple farmer and fighter closer, making
  a hero of him.
  
  
  
  
  
  Embroiled in plots beyond his comprehension and weighted with the guilt of the
  prince’s murder, Fallon must tread carefully if he is to accomplish the task
  that first brought him to the cursed capital: rescue his wife, Bridgit, and
  the rest of his village from Kottermani slavery. If he and his hopelessly
  ensnared men can survive, they may yet find redemption.
  
  
  
  
  
  Meanwhile, across the ocean, Bridgit is rallying those around her to spring an
  escape. But who can be trusted? The ever-present danger of traitors and liars
