What is this book about?
The Princess Diaries meets Nancy Drew in this middle grade novel about a New York foster kid who discovers she’s actually a long-lost princess—and must solve the mystery behind a threat to the crown.
12 year old Gen Sun has bounced around New York’s foster care system ever since her parents died in a car crash ten years ago. No one seems to know anything about her birth family, and the only link she has to them is a baby blanket embroidered with her name.
Gen is a great detective solving mysteries in her neighborhood. She’s in the middle of solving one such mystery when her life changes and it is revealed that Gen is actually the long-lost princess of a small, obscure country overseas.
In no time, Gen is whisked away to the kingdom of Raldonia. But becoming a princess overnight isn’t easy, and Gen’s American ways and no-nonsense demeanor don’t exactly endear her to the royal court. Before long, there are whispers that a legendary curse has been awoken by Gen’s sudden appearance. Soon plague-like events start befall the small country.
Gen realizes she’ll have to crack her biggest case catching the culprit out to dethrone her. And who knows? Gen might just find her place in the kingdom along the way.
