About This Book

Being a princess doesn’t mean living in a palace—it can mean surviving Possum Grape, Arkansas! My dad’s in jail for a crime he didn’t commit, my fashion-model mom is gone, and now I’m stuck on a farm with relatives I’ve never met. But no matter where I am, I’m determined to be the queen of my own story—and nothing’s going to stop me!

Quick Assessment

This middle-grade novel follows a teenage girl who moves from a glamorous life in Los Angeles to live with unfamiliar relatives on a farm in rural Arkansas after her father is incarcerated and her mother has passed away. The story explores themes of family adjustment, resilience, and identity as she navigates a new environment and social challenges. Appropriate for ages 9-12, it contains some references to parental criminal activity but handles them in a way suitable for middle-grade readers.
