On the cusp of graduation, Evan is kicked out of yet another boarding school. When she is rescued by her family’s handler, she is taken to meet the father she has never known. Her father who just happens to be the King of England. Evan quickly becomes tabloid and social media fodder and when she is accused of a major crime she has to decide which royal family members she can trust. This is a classic tale of an  American girl who is actually royalty (although not quite a princess) that includes some romance and a mystery. Best of all, it’s the first in a planned trilogy. There is an attempted date rape in the book which is handled well and should be suitable for older middle grade readers and high school readers.
