I have been meaning to read this book for years, especially after helping students through this book in literature circles in my classroom. So many students love this book (& series) and I knew it was time I dove into this world myself. I'm not a big fan of the English royals. In fact, I often ask what many would say are the simplest questions about the royal family. (Is William a royal? Who is Elizabeth? And Charles? I thought that was part of a bank name?) So, this book is not really written for someone like me who knows nothing about the current modern monarchies. Yet, I found myself having so much fun while listening to this audiobook. I know the basics of how monarchies work (thanks, former social studies teacher moment) and honestly, that's about all you need to know to understand this book. I'm in luck!
