Princess For Hire Review


Princess For Hire

From inside cover:
When a flawlessly dressed woman steps out of an iridescent bubble and wants to know, like, now if you like to become a substutute princess, do you
a) run
b) faint
c) say yes!
For Desi Bascomb, who's been longing for a bit of glamour in her Idaho life, the choice a definite c)-that is, once she can stop pinching herself. As her new agent, Meredith, explains, Desi has a rare magical ability: when she applies the ancient Egyptian formula "Royal Rouge," she can tranform temporarity into the exact look-a-like of any princess who needs her subbing services. Dream come true, right?
Well, Desi soon discovers that subbing involves a lot more then wearing a tiara and waving at cameras. Like, what do you do when a bullying older sister puts you on a heinous crash diet? Or when the tribal villagers gather to watch you preform a ceremonial dance you don't know? Or when a princess's conflicted sweetheart shows up to break things off - and you'r sure she would want you to change his mind?
In this hilarious, winning debut, one girl's dream of glamour transforms into something bigger : the desire to make a positive impact. And an impact Desi makes, one royal fiasco at a time.
Review: I enjoyed the book Princess For Hire.


Sorry I forgot to write a review right after I finish reading it.


First the fairy Godmother Meredith is not your disney bubbly fairy godmother, not at all. In fact you have to wonder about the bubbly fairy godmother once you meet one in this story.


Desi, the heroine is a teenager in need of a friend or two, she wish to make a different in the world. Her way of course!

I want one of her self design t-shirt!

This book is an awsome must-read full of magical moments!

I can't wait for the next book! I hate that I have to wait a whole year!


I give this book 4 1/2 stars.
I give the cover 5 stars.
so what books have you read lately?


Until next time,

Annie

P.S. happy reading and writing!
